Alia Bhatt made a breathtaking and mesmerizing debut at the Cannes Film Festival 2025. She left everyone going gaga over her appearances on the red carpet. From a pastel floral gown to a blue dress with an interesting headpiece, to making a closing statement in the first-ever Gucci saree, her looks have taken the internet by storm. Despite all the buzz surrounding her, Alia remains deeply fond of her daughter Raha. Even at the event, she opened up about how becoming a mother has transformed her into a new person.
Alia, in a recent conversation with Brut, revealed how motherhood had influenced her career choices and led her into different path in life. Talking about the same, she said, "I'm not even sure how it influences it. I think there's definitely a lot more empathy. Your heart is just wide open. There's a certain sensitivity that you can't quite put your finger on. I don't know how my choice of roles has changed or how I'm going to take a different path. I just don’t think I’m the same person anymore."
Further emphasizing what all has changed, the actress stated, "So, as a result of not being the same human being I was before becoming a mum, naturally, a lot will change, not because I’ve consciously decided, ‘Okay, now I’m a mother, so I must think this way,’ but because I just naturally think differently. It felt like a part of me was gone. I remember thinking, ‘Who am I? Who is this new person?'"
Alia reflected on the biggest change and how she never felt alone even after being miles away from her daughter. In the same interview, she shared, "I’m physically here, but my heart is at home because my daughter is there. It feels like I’m never truly alone; her presence and thoughts are always with me. Because of that, you stop thinking about yourself as often. I think that’s the biggest change."
