Alia Bhatt recalls being told ‘can never be a great parent or professional’

Earlier, in an interview, Alia Bhatt shared her candid thoughts on balancing work and personal life. She claims that the key is to choose the highest priority of the moment. She also remembered someone telling her that she would never be a ‘wonderful parent.’

On April 14, 2022, Alia married her boyfriend, actor Ranbir Kapoor. They dated for several years before marrying in a little ceremony. Raha Kapoor, the couple’s first child, was born in November of last year.

Talking about her honest outlook on balancing work and private life, Alia told Femina, “Balance is not always consistent and something always has to suffer. You might think you can do everything and nothing will suffer.

“You might be able to do everything, but your peace of mind will probably suffer. And I think that’s what happens very often because I want to be present with everything personally, and I want to be present professionally.”

“But, in the bargain, I’m taking no time out for myself, giving myself no thought. So, I think it’s about trying to choose your biggest priority at that moment,” she further added.

She continued “Somebody once told me that you can never be a great parent or a great professional or a great daughter or a great anything. ‘Greatness’ is just extremely overrated. You just have to be good enough and honest. And keep communication wide open.

“So that’s what I try to do: keep communication wide open with my friends and my family, and with myself. But, even then, sometimes, I feel as if I take on too much, but I also feel like I thrive with responsibility. I don’t have the answers,” the actor further revealed.
