Singer-songwriter Armaan Malik and blogger Aashna Shroff announced their engagement on Instagram on August 28. The much-in-love couple shared pictures of the ceremony and posted, “And our forever has only just begun (sic).”

In a conversation with Bombay Times, Armaan’s father, singer-composer-actor Daboo Malik said, “This is an exciting moment for all of us because this is the first time that something like this is happening in our family. We all are excited and very happy that the younger ones are taking their lives ahead. My blessings are always there with them.”

Talking about Armaan and Aashna, Daboo added, “They both are made for each other. They are two beautiful hearts that are coming together. I call them my little birds and they are my cuties. Their engagement makes me feel older (smiles). From now on, I think I need to pull up my socks and behave like a daddy ji (father-in-law)!”

When asked about the wedding details, he said, “The wedding will take place next year, but we haven’t finalized the date yet.”

Talking about his elder son Amaal Mallik’s plans, he said, "Amaal ke liye chalo ab hum sab dhoonte hain. He is now the most eligible bachelor in town.”
