Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt, who is actively promoting her latest film Jigra, has opened up about her ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) diagnosis for the first time.

Alia Bhatt opens up on her ADHD diagnosis

In an interview with Lallantop, reflecting on her childhood, Bhatt recalled early signs of ADH. Alia mentions that she often feels zoned out. “From a young age, I would find myself drifting away during class or conversations,” she shared. This prompted her to seek a psychological evaluation, which ultimately confirmed her place on the ADHD spectrum.

While her friends were not surprised by the diagnosis, it was an eye-opening moment for Bhatt. “Whenever I shared this with my friends, they would say, ‘We always knew.’ For them, it wasn’t a revelation, but for me, it was,” she explained.
