Recently, Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt opened up about her ADHD diagnosis in a candid conversation with Jay Shetty on his podcast. She shared how the pressures of 'multitasking’ began to take a significant toll on her mental health.
Alia explained that she became comfortable discussing her condition after realizing how many others are silently struggling with ADHD. Reflecting on its negative impact, she revealed, “I was struggling, which is why I sought help. In social situations, my body would physically react—I’d start overheating. I also found it increasingly difficult to focus; my attention would constantly drift.”
Initially, Alia took pride in being a "multi-tasker" until it began to affect her wellbeing. “I started forgetting the most random things, even simple appointments I had scheduled,” she admitted, acknowledging how the condition had begun to disrupt her life in ways she hadn’t expected.
