Alia, Alia Bhatt, who revealed her ADHD diagnosis last year, went on to share, “I find myself in various moments where my emotions are getting the better of me”.

“They are kind of taking over perhaps the physical moment... in that time. It is not like I am someone deep into meditation or able to stick to any of those things. But sometimes, just being aware of your own internal processes and internal transitions that these things might trigger you or might make you feel a certain way, just knowing or acknowledging to yourself helps you get through the difficult moment,” she added.

During the event, Alia Bhatt and her husband Ranbir Kapoor also took the opportunity to request the media to respect their daughter's privacy, refraining from posting photos or videos of her on social media.
