 "Alia Bhatt opens up about ADHD diagnosis, says she feels most 'present' with Raha: 'I understood why I am at...'")
Alia Bhatt, who has been garnering rave reviews for her performance in Jigra, recently revealed that she has ADHD and shared that she used to zone out during conversations since childhood but wasn’t aware that she had ADHD.
“I used to get zoned out from a young age. I used to get zoned out in the classroom or during conversations. 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,” the Jigra said in a conversation with The Lallantop.
Revealing a few moments of her life, where she feels most present, Alia added, “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. 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."
Talking about Jigra , Firstpost gave 3 stars and wrote, “There is never a moment that you will get bored and most importantly Alia Bhatt’s honest performance and her expressions through her eyes makes the movie worth watching. She makes it very clear that she is going to save her brother and is ready to bomb or kill anybody who comes in her way. She at any cost will not let her kid brother rot in jail.”
Directed by Vasan Bala, Jigra marks Alia Bhatt ’s debut as a producer.
