Actor Alia Bhatt recently shared a personal aspect of her life during an interview. Known for being open about topics close to her, Bhatt revealed that she was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This marks one of the first times the actor has spoken publicly about this aspect of her mental health.
During the interview, Bhatt explained that she often finds herself zoning out, a behavior that had raised questions for her. As a result, she underwent a psychological test and received the ADHD diagnosis. “I don’t get angry often, but I do zone out quite a bit,” she shared. “I went through a psychological test, and I was diagnosed with ADHD.”
For the uninitiated, ADHD is a condition characterized by symptoms such as difficulty focusing, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Bhatt, known for her dynamic performances on screen, acknowledged that the diagnosis brought clarity to some of her experiences.
Despite her diagnosis, Bhatt emphasized that becoming a mother has brought a new sense of mindfulness into her life. Speaking about her daughter, Raha, Bhatt said that motherhood has shifted her focus in a positive way. “With Raha coming into my life, I find myself being present in the moment, not just with her but overall,” Bhatt reflected.
Bhatt’s candidness about her experience with ADHD sheds light on a condition that affects many people but is not often discussed openly. Her story might resonate with those who experience similar challenges, showing that it’s possible to manage ADHD and still lead a successful and fulfilling life.
