“My friends would say, ‘Alia, you need to stop dieting. Just be calm, live a little, eat some food.’ And I used to be like, ‘Once a fat kid, always a fat kid’. I used to say that in my head, no matter how much weight I lost,” added the ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ actor.
Bhatt revealed that her perspective changed after becoming a mother and she now holds a deep respect for her body, irrespective of any extra weight or a bloated belly.
It is worth noting here that Bollywood couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor welcomed their first child, daughter Raha, in November 2022.
