Alia Bhatt Opens Up About Attention Deficit Disorder And How It Impacted Her Wedding Makeup

When Alia Bhatt tied the knot with Ranbir Kapoor in 2022, the whole world could not get enough of her minimal bridal look. The actor went for minimal makeup and an intricate ivory Sabyasachi saree. In a recent interview, the actor revealed that there was a reason behind her subtle makeup. Bhatt revealed that she does not like sitting for long hours on the makeup chair because she struggles with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

Bhatt has always been a minimal makeup person. She is always seen embracing her natural skin. In a recent interview, she revealed that this translated even to her bridal makeup. She revealed that her makeup artist, Puneet B Saini, wanted to put in two hours for her makeup but Bhatt refused. She said, “On my wedding day, my makeup artist, Puneet B. Saini was like, ‘Alia, this time, you need to give me two hours’. I told her, ‘You’ve lost it, especially on my wedding day, I’m not giving two hours because I want to chill.” She continued, “It needs to be something that you can do very quickly. I have ADD and don’t have interest in investing too much time.” On her wedding day, Alia kept her makeup minimal with a dewy base, soft contouring, and a nude lip.

ADD or Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic condition that is marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention or hyperactivity-impulsivity. This often interferes with functioning or development.

Here are some of the common signs and symptoms of ADD.

Inattention: People with ADD have difficulty paying attention for longer hours.

Forgetfulness: Individuals with ADD or ADHD often forget important details. This can be challenging, especially in professional settings.

Easily Getting Distracted: People with ADD or ADHD are easily distracted by minor interruptions. This often leads to them leaving tasks incomplete.

Restlessness: Sitting for longer periods is difficult as they have a constant need to move around frequently.

Difficulty Following Instructions: For people with ADD, instructions need to be broken down in simpler terms. If the instructions are complex or lengthy, chances are they will find it hard to follow.

The most common treatment for ADD includes talk therapy. In recent times, a lot of celebrities have opened up about their struggle with ADHD. This chronic condition can be properly diagnosed by a certified medical practitioner.
