From returning to work soon after childbirth to choosing meaningful roles, Bollywood actors prove that motherhood doesn’t slow down ambition. In a recent interview with ETimes, Alia Bhatt, who welcomed her daughter Raha in 2022, spoke about how she has slowed down the volume and pace of her work, while her love for films remains unchanged.

Alia shared how embracing motherhood has reshaped her approach to work, saying, “Of course, the volume and the speed at which I work now are different because I have a child. But it’s a comfortable pace, and I’m happy with it. I like doing one film at a time and giving it all my energy. Earlier, I would do two or three films simultaneously, but I don’t want to do that anymore.”

She also spoke about shooting Alpha, an action film, after becoming a mother, and said, “Doing action after having a baby was very interesting because it allowed me to see what my body is capable of. It was such a learning experience, and it gave me a lot of respect for my body.”
