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 told about this to my friends, they were like, ‘We always knew’. This is not some sort of revelation. But I didn`t know."
“Then I understood why I am at peace in front of the camera. I`m most present in that moment. Whenever I am in front of the camera, I am present as the character I am playing," she added.
Alia Bhatt concluded by saying, "And I`m most present in that moment. And now, after Raha, when I am with her, I am most present. These are the two moments in my life where I am more peaceful."
