Hyderabad: Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt recently revealed that she has ADHD (attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder), shedding light on how it has shaped her experiences both on and off-screen. In a heartfelt conversation with a newswire, the actor reflected on her childhood struggles with zoning out during conversations and in classrooms, a pattern she has battled for years. A psychological evaluation confirmed that she is high on the ADHD spectrum, a revelation that provided her with significant clarity about her behaviour and thought processes.
Describing the reaction to her diagnosis, Alia shared that her friends had long suspected her condition. "When I told them, they were like, 'We always knew. This is not some sort of revelation,'" she said. Despite the recognition from friends, it was not until the formal diagnosis that Alia truly grasped why she finds such peace in front of the camera. "I understood why I am at peace in front of the camera," she shared, emphasising that performing allows her to be fully present at the moment.
