Alia Bhatt is an actress who is on top of the game in the Hindi film industry, and she is considered by many to be the best actress in mainstream Bollywood. But that doesn't mean that everything is smooth sailing for someone even like her. In an interview with Filmfare, Alia recently opened up about the bouts of anxiety she often goes through. Read on to find out how Alia is coping with the anxiety issues she has been facing for the past few months.
Deepika Padukone broke the stigma around mental illness in Bollywood when she opened up about her depression back in 2015. That brought about a tangible change in the entertainment industry and among fans, on the way mental illness is viewed.
Alia Bhatt recently opened up about the struggles she has been going through with anxiety. In an interview with Filmfare, she said, "I haven't been depressed but I've had bouts of anxiety. It comes and goes. It's been happening quite a bit since the past five to six months. It's not like an anxiety attack but I just feel low. Thankfully, I'm aware of it because of my sister Shaheen. She's fought depression. I've read her book. No matter how bad it is, I just let myself feel it. Sometimes, I feel like crying for no reason. Then it passes. Initially, I'd be a little confused. I'd constantly give reasons that it's because of work or maybe I'm tired or haven't been able to meet anyone."
Alia's
sister,
Shaheen
Bhatt,
who
has
been
battling
depression
for
a
long
time
now,
had
written
a
book
on
her
struggles
titled
'I've
Never
Been
(Un)Happier'.
Alia
added,
"The
kind
of
personality
I
have,
I
become
a
little
on
the
edge.
I
spoke
to
friends
about
it.
I
spoke
to
Ayan
(Mukerji)
about
it,
I
spoke
to
my
sister's
friend
Rohan
(Joshi).
Everyone
told
me
that
you've
got
to
realise
that
it
will
go
away.
What's
important
is
to
accept
it
and
not
say
that
you're
fine.
If
you're
not
feeling
fine,
then
you
should
just
say
you're
not
feeling
fine".
On the work front for Alia, she will next be seen in Karan Johar's multi starrer, Kalank, which is set to hit the theatres on April 19th. Kalank stars Alia, Madhuri Dixit, Varun Dhawan, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sanjay Dutt, with cameo appearances by Kriti Sanon and Kiara Advani.
