New Delhi: Alia Bhatt has been doing great professionally and personally. In 2022 Alia married her beau Ranbir Kapoor and the couple welcomed their daughter, Raha Kapoor, in November last year. The actor, who will next be seen in ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani’, recently discussed juggling work and personal life.  

In a conversation with Femina, Alia said for the last 10 years, she gave preference to her work and didn’t give time to her parents, sister and friends and she no longer wants to do that. 

“As I cross a decade in cinema, my life over the decade has also changed a lot. I think there was a time when I was willing to make sacrifices of all kinds – of sleep and time with my family – and just continuously work and shoot. Now I have a family. I have a daughter. I have a husband. I also feel like all these 10 years, this time I did not spend with my parents, with my sister, with my friends – I want to be able to do that. And, of course, never give up working, but try and bring about some balance. So, yes, that is the decision that I’ve consciously taken and it includes being present. I feel like, very often, we might not be working, but we’re on the phone talking, figuring things out, you know, doing some random things. So, I also just find lots of balance by not looking at my phone if I have nothing to do. I try to do it. Sometimes I fail miserably, sometimes, I succeed,” she was quoted as saying by Femina. 

She also spoke about juggling between work and family. “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.” 

Apart from ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, Alia will also be seen in her first Hollywood film, ‘Heart of Stone.’
