Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, who welcomed their baby girl Raha Kapoor in November last year, are currently enjoying parenthood. The couple is often asked about their baby girl Raha and how she changed their lives. Alia recently said that Raha gives her '1000-watt energy' whenever she is not feeling great or is low on energy. Alia also spoke about feeling 'mom guilt' as a new mother. She added it was 'very, very normal for most moms'
The actress told Humans of Bombay when asked about 'mom guilt', "It is a very regular feeling, guilt. Very, very normal; most moms will feel it. It is important to tell yourself that you are doing your best... It is very important to understand that taking care of your mental health, whatever makes you happy, will also keep your baby happy... what really helped me was my support system. My husband, my sister, my mom, my family were there to constantly check on me, constantly making it seem like I was doing the best job possible. It is a journey that had just begun, there is so much to explore now. Possibly the best journey I have been on in my life."
She said, "There are days when I find it really tough. But I find it very hard to admit to myself that it is no easy... my mind is full of clutter because I have so much to think of. So, one of things is to depend on people, but again I can't just let things go, I have to be on top of everything. Being a mom, it is a new experience, and anything new and any change is always challenging. It is also the most fulfilling feeling. Sometimes, when I have low energy, or I am not feeling great, just one look at my baby and I have 1000-watt of energy. At the end of the day, it is something that I chose. I chose to be a producer, an entrepreneur, an actor and a mother, so I chose to be all these different parts. So I can’t sit and complain and be like ‘life is very hard’."
Alia further spoke about the importance of 'a good night’s sleep', and said 'sleep is the most important thing to reenergize' oneself.
