“Who Am I Now?” Alia Bhatt Opens Up About Losing Her “Old Self” After Motherhood

Motherhood changes everything. The routines, the priorities and sometimes, even how you see yourself. It’s not for you anymore. Actress Alia Bhatt is in the same phase. She spoke about her emotional shift after becoming a mother.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor welcomed their daughter Raha Kapoor in 2022. Since then, she has often shared small snippets of how motherhood has changed her life.

In a recent conversation, she highlighted something every mom feels, but not everybody speaks up. She said that becoming a mother made her question her own identity. She admitted that she sometimes wonders, “Who am I? Who is this new person?”

Feeling Like a Different Person

Ali Bhatt shared that she no longer feels like the same person she was before becoming a mother. Her priorities have changed. And she also says that the way she looks at life has changed.

This is not something she had planned. It has all happened naturally after stepping into the shoes of motherhood.

When Your Heart Is Always at Home

She shared that even when she attends international events and film festivals, her mind often stays with her daughter.

She once shared that even when she is working or travelling, she feels like a part of her heart is always at home with her child. There is always an emotional connection with her daughter, making her think of Raha constantly.  

She said that she has become more protective and more thoughtful about her choices.

Her journey is still unfolding. She is still trying to adjust to this new version of herself, where she sometimes feels she has lost her identity as its just her daughter always on her mind.

This can be felt by every parent. Once you become a mother, your life revolves around your child.
