Anurag Kashyap, Imtiaz Ali's Daughters Recall Being Held Hostage During Robbery: 'Thought We're Going To Die'

Anurag Kashyap’s daughter Aaliyah Kashyap and Imtiaz Ali’s daughter Ida Ali share a special bond. They grew up together in the same building and are not only best friends but are like sisters. Ida was a guest on Aaliyah’s podcast Young, Dumb & Anxious podcast where the two recalled the time when they were held hostage by their house help while she robbed the place.

Aaliyah Kashyap said, “Her parents and my parents were going out together somewhere and she (Ida) was staying at my house and my nani was there. My nani was watching us and so was our didi, who was working in our house at the time.”

“She locked my nani in the room in the evening after my parents left. She taped Ida and my mouth and tied our hands to a chair. We were crying and freaking out because we thought we were going to die. So basically she was stealing stuff from the house. She was stealing jewellery and money or whatever was in house,” she added.

“Thankfully, my mom had left something and she came back like 15-20 minutes later to pick it up and she saw everything that had happened and she called her parents, my dad everyone back and they like freaked out. It was obviously traumatic but it would have been a lot more traumatic if we went through that alone,” she shared.

The two spoke about trauma bonding and Ida added that in hindsight, “it’s a fun story that we share” and Aaliyah added that they now “laugh about” this incident.

Meanwhile, Anurag Kashyap’s daughter, Aaliyah, recently got engaged to her boyfriend, Shane Gregoire. They are planning to get married next year. In a different episode of the podcast Young Dumb and Anxious, Anurag humorously mentioned that Aaliyah’s wedding budget is comparable to the budget for one of his movies. Aaliyah took this comment in stride, joking that her father should be grateful he doesn’t have more children to finance weddings for.

Aaliyah is a social media influencer who promotes various brands through her social media accounts and creates content for her YouTube channel. Earlier, in a YouTube video, she opened up about her boyfriend Shane Gregoire. Aaliyah revealed that she met Shane on a dating app and she even made the first move on him. The celebrity daughter also added though she was nervous, she was the first one to kiss him too.
