Alia Bhatt reveals she has Attention Deficit Disorder: Know all about the condition

Alia Bhatt recently revealed in an interview that she has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), a type of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder that affects a person's ability to focus, be still and control their impulses.

While speaking to Allure magazine, Alia revealed that she does not spend more than 45 minutes on a makeup chair. "It needs to be something that you can do very quickly. I have ADD and don't have an interest in investing too much time. Whatever needs to happen needs to happen fast," 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 you two hours because I want to chill," added Alia, who tied the knot with Ranbir Kapoor in 2022.
