Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt, who is juggling multiple projects and being a mother to her baby girl Raha, got candid about motherhood and how it has changed her life. In an interview with Allure magazine, Alia, who graced the cover described her daughter saying, "She's naughty. She's chatty. She has moments of being shy. She's just her own person, but she's very bright."

On balancing motherhood and work, Alia said, "That's my main focus. How do I ping-pong between the two and do them well, but also find a way to carve out time for myself, which I'm not able to do. I'll be very candid right now - there's no such thing as me time. I've not even been able to get a therapy session for the last two months. Your soul is sort of fulfilled, but you are also always full of fear and nerves because of just wanting to do it right and wanting to do it well."

Sharing a piece of advice from her parents, Alia added, "Children come through you. They're yours, you are a catalyst, you are a source for their life, but their life is not yours. Their life is theirs, and you just need to give them the tools to deal with their life."
