Ahead of her 32nd birthday on March 15, Alia Bhatt hosted an intimate gathering with the media in Mumbai. The event was made even more special with the presence of her husband, Ranbir Kapoor, as she marked the occasion by cutting a cake.
Protecting Their Daughter’s Privacy
During the celebration, Alia and Ranbir made a heartfelt request to the media, urging them to refrain from clicking photos or sharing videos of their daughter, Raha, on social media. The couple has consistently emphasized their desire to maintain their child’s privacy.
Alia on Mental Health and Therapy
In the media interaction, Alia also opened up about her mental health journey, a topic she recently discussed on Jay Shetty’s podcast. She described mental well-being as “a daily work in progress” and shared that she attends therapy once a week to help clear her mind.
She elaborated on her struggles with ADHD and anxiety, admitting, “I often find myself in moments where my emotions take over. It’s not like I’m someone who deeply meditates or strictly follows mindfulness routines. But simply being aware of my internal processes and acknowledging my triggers helps me navigate difficult moments.” She also emphasized the importance of support systems and open conversations in managing mental health challenges.
A Parenting Insight from Alia
Alia also shared a valuable parenting tip, revealing that she reads The Book of Emotions to her daughter Raha. “It’s a simple book that explains emotions to kids, but when I read it to her, I feel like I’m reading it to myself. It serves as a reminder that experiencing different emotional highs and lows is completely normal.”
With her candid approach to mental health and motherhood, Alia continues to inspire fans by normalizing conversations around emotional well-being.
