She added, “I find myself in various moments where my emotions are getting the better of me. They are kind of taking over perhaps the physical moment… in that time. It is not like I am someone deep into meditation or able to stick to any of those things. But sometimes, just being aware of your own internal processes and internal transitions that might trigger you or might make you feel a certain way, just knowing or acknowledging to yourself helps you get through the difficult moment. Of course, support definitely helps and talking it out helps.”
Alia reads a book about emotions to Raha
Alia Bhatt also revealed that reading to Raha helps. She said, “I read a book called the Book of Emotions to Raha. It simply explains to kids what emotions are. When I read that book to her, it is actually like I am reading to myself. Sometimes, it is important to remind yourself about the different sorts of highs and lows a human can experience and how that is normal to feel that way.”
Meanwhile, after the event, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor jetted off to Alibaug. The two were seen catching a speedboat from the Gateway of India. Check out all the photos here:
