Alia Bhatt is one of the much-loved actresses in Bollywood, who has been shining thoroughly in her professional life. It was back in 2023, when the actress made her Hollywood debut with the movie, Heart Of Stone. Alia's first Hollywood movie had a lot of action sequences, and during that time, she was pregnant with her first child, Raha. Despite being preggo, Alia worked really hard at that time, and now, her trainer, Anshuka Parwani revealed how the actress' dedication and hard work, even during her pregnancy made it look like a cakewalk.
In an interview with India Today, Alia Bhatt's trainer, Anushka Parwani revealed that she worked with the actress on her first international project, and during that time, she was expecting Raha. The trainer added that while the actress was shooting, they worked remotely, as she couldn't travel with Alia after being Covid-19 positive. In Anushka's words:
"That role required Alia to do a lot of action sequences, and of course, at that point, I knew she was pregnant with Raha. Alia and I started preparing for that role while she was expecting. In fact, while she was shooting for it, we were working out remotely because, unfortunately, at that time, I did not travel with her. It was Covid-19, so I wouldn’t train anybody online without the awareness of their body and yoga."
In the same interview, Alia Bhatt's trainer, Anushka, stated that as the actress was pregnant, it was not comfortable for her to train the actress online, but it was the latter's awareness that made them decide upon the same. Anushka further praised Alia and remarked that the way the latter was doing the action sequence, none could even think that she was pregnant. Alia's trainer added that she sailed like a breeze, and although, it was not a simple process, the actress' positive attitude in approaching everything made the process look like a cakewalk. Anushka said:
"But because Alia has that kind of awareness, during that stipulated period, we did train remotely. I don’t think anybody could even tell that she was pregnant during the shoot of the film or while she was doing those action sequences. Alia sailed through it like a breeze. Her attitude in approaching things was literally everything because she knew it was a natural process, and with some adjustments here and there, it all became a cakewalk. I’m not saying it’s a very simple process, but it’s the right attitude that eventually matters.”
In an interview with Allure Magazine, Alia Bhatt revealed that Raha first time kicked her while she was shooting for the Heart Of Stone. The actress added that she was watching something on her iPad, and felt something like a flutter in her belly, and she was shocked as she was not watching something to give her flutter in her belly. Alia said that's when she realised that her baby just kicked. The actress couldn't sleep the whole night due to excitement and called up Ranbir in his half-sleep to give the news. Alia mentioned it was a special feeling, and for the first time, she felt she was not alone, and there was a little human inside of her.
After 1.5 months of Raha's birth, Alia took to her IG handle and shared a post, wherein she was seen doing an aerial yoga pose. The actress stunned everyone with her transformation, and in the long note, she discussed body positivity and revealed that she vowed not to be too hard on her body, and trying to find a balance for the same.
