Actor Alia Bhatt recently shared a sweet, personal moment with fans as she wished her to be brother-in-law Ishaan Mehra on his birthday, offering a glimpse into the warmth of her inner circle.
Ishaan Mehra, who is engaged to Alia Bhatt’s sister Shaheen Bhatt, is clearly more than just a soon-to-be family member. Alia Bhatt’s birthday note reflected a sense of ease and closeness that comes from a bond built over time.
Taking to Instagram, Alia Bhatt posted a cosy, candid picture with Ishaan Mehra and kept her message simple yet affectionate: “happy birthday best boy @ishaanmehra.”
In the photograph, Shaheen Bhatt and Ishaan Mehra are seen sitting together on a green lawn, leaning into each other with quiet smiles. Dressed casually, the two appear completely at ease, as if the picture was taken during a laid-back day spent in good company. The natural setting and unposed feel of the image add to its charm, making it feel genuine rather than staged.
Shaheen Bhatt and Ishaan Mehra recently took a big step in their relationship as they got engaged in an intimate setting.
Sharing the news on Instagram, Shaheen Bhatt posted a series of heartfelt pictures from the proposal. One image showed her proudly flaunting her engagement ring while standing beside Ishaan Mehra, while others captured the couple walking hand in hand and sharing tender moments.
Her caption, “We may have overdone this whole liking each other thing,” added a light, playful touch to the announcement.

Who is Ishaan Mehra?
While their relationship has naturally sparked curiosity, Ishaan Mehra has an identity of his own beyond the spotlight. He works as a sports and fitness coach, offering both online and in-person training. A former international swimmer, he represented India at the Youth Asian Games before transitioning into the fitness industry full-time.
With over three years of experience, he focuses on helping clients build strength, improve movement, and recover from injuries through an athlete-driven approach.
