Anxiety Issues

After Deepika, Alia is another actor who has come forward and openly talked about mental health issues. In this tell-all interview she has revealed that she has been anxiety issues for a while now. She said, “I haven’t been depressed but I’ve had bouts of anxiety. It comes and goes. It’s been happening quite a bit since the past five to six months. It’s not like an anxiety attack but I just feel low. Thankfully, I’m aware of it because of my sister (Shaheen Bhatt). She’s fought depression. I’ve read her book. No matter how bad it is, I just let myself feel it. Sometimes, I feel like crying for no reason. Then it passes. Initially, I’d be a little confused. I’d constantly give reasons that it’s because of work or maybe I’m tired or haven’t been able to meet anyone... The kind of personality I have, I become a little on the edge.”

Friendzoning Ranbir Kapoor

Relax peeps, they are still very much romantically involved. However, Alia said just said the sweetest thing about their relationship. She said, “It’s not a relationship. It’s a friendship. I’m saying this with all genuineness and honesty. It’s beautiful. I’m walking on stars and clouds right now.” She further added, “In fact, there’s a beautiful book titled My Brilliant Friend. Ranbir’s my brilliant friend.”

About Ranbir’s Troubled Past

There is a whole section of Alia Bhatt fans who are not totally stoked about her romance with Ranbir. In all honestly, Ranbir has actually had a pretty reputation when it comes to ladies in Bollywood and his romance with them. After his much public and much messy Deepika and Katrina, fans are worried if it is the same fate that awaits Alia. However, looks like Alia does not even have an iota of issue with Ranbir’s past. When asked about his troubled past, Alia said, “How does it matter? It’s part of someone’s life and who cares. Aur main thodi na kam hoon.” Isn’t that incredibly mature of her?

Friends We Did Not Know About

We all know about Alia’s friendships with Varun, Katrina, Deepika, Karan Johar and definitely Ranbir’s best friend Ayan Mukerji. But not many people know about her friendship with Shaheen Bhatt’s boyfriend, comedian Rohan Joshi from AIB. While talking about her anxiety issues, Alia revealed that Rohan is one of the people she has talked to about the same. While Alia did that hilarious video with AIB, we had no clue that these two were so close.
