Love the "in my padel era" cap! 😄 It's refreshing to see a Bollywood star share such normal, fun moments with friends. The family pictures from Disneyland were adorable too. Wishing her all the best for 'Alpha'!
Respect for her honesty. Mental health is no joke, and for a public figure to speak about focus issues and ADHD so candidly is a big step. Hope it encourages more conversations in our society where these topics are often brushed under the carpet.
The birthday celebrations look lovely, but I do hope the focus remains on her upcoming work. 'Alpha' sounds exciting! The Spy Universe needs a strong female lead, and she's perfect for it.
It's nice to see celebrities being relatable. The struggle with focus is something many of us deal with daily, even without a formal diagnosis. Good on her for finding joy in simple things like playing a sport with friends. That's the real secret to happiness, yaar.
While I appreciate her sharing her journey, sometimes it feels like every celebrity now has a diagnosis to share. I hope the discussion stays genuine and helps normalize seeking help for the common person who can't afford fancy therapies.
