India mourns the death of 28 tourists who were gunned down in a heinous terrorist attack on Tuesday afternoon near a popular scenic spot in Pahalgam, Kashmir. The tragedy has triggered the nation, followed by an outpouring of grief and shock from all around the world

Many Bollywood celebrities expressed their outrage on social media platforms but the most eerie and almost surreal experience was faced by two of the most influential filmmakers and their family members

Filmmakers Anurag Kashyap and Imtiaz Ali share a close bond since their college days in Delhi where they attended the same college and grew closer as they shared the same passion for films and art; similarly, their daughters Aaliyah and Ida are best pals too

Aaliyah Kashyap and Ida Ali were coincidentally in Kashmir a few days ago with their respective partners. The BFFs shared the highlights of their gateway trip on their respective Instagram feeds

The group consisted of Aaliyah Kashyap with her husband Shane Gregoire, and Ida Ali with her boyfriend Krish Agrawal. They were vacationing near the scenic Pahalgham in a hilly resort

The quartet who nearly escaped the gruesome terrorist attack expressed their sheer disbelief, as they were at the same location vacationing together a few days ago. They even released a YouTube video taking about their blissful experience in Kashmir

Aaliyah Kashyap took to her Instagram story and wrote," "This is crazy; we were just here 2 days ago. Praying for all the victims, their families, and all the people affected. This is heartbreaking"

Ida Ali also dedicated a post for the victims of this tragic incident and penned down her thoughts “My heart goes out to all the victims and their families” 

The two couples who nearly escaped this terror attack were soaking in the warmth from a bonfire in the cold valleys of Kashmir, completely unaware on what was about to unfold few days later

Aaliyah Kashyap referred her trip to Pahalgam, Kashmir as 'Heaven on Earth.' She is sitting in front of scenic view surrounded by the stillness of nature and a river which is running through the valley

Here they take the famous 'Shikhara' ride in Dal Lake, Srinagar. The group can be seen enjoying their boat ride; Ida poses with her boyfriend Krish as Aaliyah and Shane photobomb them in the background

Ida Ali is the daughter of Imtiaz Ali, and little is known about her as she mostly chooses to stay out of the limelight. Ida is a budding writer-director and wants to make films just like her father

Aaliyah Kashyap is a well-known name in the internet space, as she is an influencer and YouTuber. She has a YouTube channel which features her daily life vlogs with her husband, Shane Gregoire, and her girlfriends 

Aaliyah Kashyap and Shane Gregoire got married last year on 11th December. The couple travels a lot and shares snippets of their lives on their official YouTube channel. Their Kashmir trip was also documented
