Speaking about motherhood, fears and parenting, Alia Bhatt revealed that she often questions herself as a mother while raising her daughter Raha. In a candid conversation with Sadhguru on his YouTube channel, the actress shared her concerns, while also seeking advice on raising children in today’s world.“I am a mother of a three-and-a-half-year-old daughter and she is the joy of my life. But I feel anxious all the time. My father once asked me what it is like to be a mother, and I said it is a mixture of joy and anxiety. I am constantly thinking – Am I a good mother? Am I saying the right things?,” she said.
“Children learn life through you”
Alia went on to ask for guidance, adding: “What advice do you have for me or any parent today, because children are so beautiful, so curious, and they learn life through you in the first few years?”Sadhguru responded with good humor, asking, “What if the parent is not a good parent?” — leaving the actor in splits.

“Even she is afraid of failure.”
Alia also spoke about the fear of failure, revealing that even her little daughter is already showing signs of failure.“We are all afraid of failure. Even now, when my daughter is growing up, she always wants to win. If someone else comes first, she will say they cheated.
I tell her: No, they came first. The conversation also saw lighter moments, with Sadhguru jokingly saying, “I will cry on your shoulder,” prompting Alia to laugh, saying, “Please do. I think crying is very healthy.”When he disagreed with her, she jokingly added: “Oh no, please don’t tell me that!”Alia and her husband Ranbir Kapoor welcomed their daughter Raha in 2022.
