Actress Alia Bhatt recently revealed that there are days when she feels like deleting her social media, especially after the birth of her daughter Raha in 2022, describing motherhood as "a massive change" that transforms both a person’s body and mindset.

In an interview with Esquire India, Alia opened up about fame and the pressures of maintaining a social media presence, explaining why she sometimes feels the urge to step away.

“There are days when I wake up and think, okay, I just want to delete my social media and be an actor who acts. I don’t want to keep up with this conversation again and again. I know that would really cut off contact with so many people who’ve supported me from the beginning, and I don’t want to do that,” Alia stated.

She also spoke about the challenges of sharing her personal life publicly, saying, “When it comes to really putting out your personal life…now my personal life is so personal that I find it a little bit difficult. My photo album is full of Raha. I actually have to work hard to take pictures of myself."

On the personal front, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony in April 2022, and the couple welcomed their daughter Raha in November of the same year.
