Alia Bhatt has attention deficit disorder? Here's what we know about the 'Jigra' actress

Alia Bhatt is preparing for the release of her upcoming action drama Jigra. In a recent interview with Allure magazine, she shared that she has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), a form of ADHD. Alia explained that she doesn't like spending more than 45 minutes on makeup, saying, "It needs to be done quickly. I have ADD, and I don't enjoy investing too much time. Whatever needs to happen should happen fast."

Reflecting on her wedding day, Alia recalled telling her makeup artist, Puneet B Saini, "I'm not giving you two hours. Especially on my wedding day, I just want to relax." Alia married her Brahmastra co-star Ranbir Kapoor in April 2022 in an intimate ceremony at their Mumbai home, Vastu. The couple had been dating for over five years before their marriage. They welcomed their daughter on November 6, 2022.
