Alia Bhatt has opened up about her battle with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and how difficult it is for her to stay in the moment. The actress, who is now receiving praises for her role in Jigra, disclosed in an interview that she had always dozed off during chats but was unaware that she had ADHD.
Alia Bhatt shared talked about her battle with ADHD
“I used to get zoned out from a young age. I used to get zoned out in the classroom or during conversations. Recently, I did a psychological test and found out that I am high on the ADHD spectrum. I have ADHD – Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Whenever I talked about this to my friends, they were like, ‘we always knew’. This is not some sort of revelation. But I didn’t know,” Alia said in a conversation with The Lallantop.
According to Alia Bhatt, there aren’t many times in her life when she feels completely present. “I realized why I am at ease in front of the camera, that’s when I’m most present. Every time I stand in front of the camera, I live the character I’m portraying. And in that instant, I’m totally present. And now after Raha, when I am with her, I am most present. There are only these two times in my life where I feel more at peace.” Alia remarked.
In an interview, the actress stated that she uses a makeup chair for no more than 45 minutes at a time. “Since I have ADD, I’m not interested in putting in a lot of time. Whatever is to get done has to get done quickly,” Alia stated to Allure Magazine.
She went on, ” On my wedding day my makeup artist Puneet (B Saini) said to me, ‘Alia, you need to give me two hours this time.’ I said to her, You’re crazy. I want to relax especially on my wedding day, So I’m not giving you two hours.”
In 2022, Alia Bhatt wed actor Ranbir Kapoor at their Mumbai home.
