Darya Imad Shah's attempts to rule peacefully meant dealing diplomatically with the local powers of Bijapur and Ahmadnagar.{{cite web|first=Aditya|last=Vardhan|title=Short biography of Darya Imad Shah (A.D. 1530—A.D. 1561)|website=PreserveArticles.com|url=http://www.preservearticles.com/2011102915995/short-biography-of-darya-imad-shah-ad-1530ad-1561.html|accessdate=4 May 2018|archive-date=5 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180505134749/http://www.preservearticles.com/2011102915995/short-biography-of-darya-imad-shah-ad-1530ad-1561.html|url-status=dead}} His daughter Daulat Shah Begum married the Ahmadnagar Sultan Hussain Nizam Shah I in 1558 on the banks of the Godavari River, and he came to the aid of his son-in-law against Aliya Rama Raya of the Vijayanagara Empire when he was subsequently attacked.{{cite book|first=Radhey|last=Shyam|title=The Kingdom of Ahmadnagar|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass|place=Delhi|year=1966|page=110}} This was an antecedent of the subsequent alliance between the Deccan Sultanates that fought in the Battle of Talikota.
