In an era where “gentle parenting” and “perfect aesthetics” dominate social media, Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt chose to embrace vulnerability. Attending an event titled ‘In Conversation with the Mystic’ hosted by JITO Chennai Plus at The Leela Palace, the actress bypassed the usual talk of film scripts to ask a question that resonates with every parent: How do I know if I’m doing a good enough job?
The Question Every Mother Asks
Dressed in a serene pastel green organza saree, Alia looked every bit the doting mother as she sought a “blessing” in the form of advice. She asked Sadhguru:
“Your one advice to a parent who’s worried if they’re being a good parent would be?”
The spiritual leader’s response was as swift as it was startling. With a trademark chuckle, he replied, “A worried parent is not a good parent.”
The audience erupted in laughter, but Alia was quick to defend the natural maternal instinct.
Tilting her head back, she jokingly countered, “I don’t think you can take worry out of it. I think you’d admit!” While Sadhguru agreed that concern is natural, his core message was clear: a child needs a joyful, stable environment to thrive, not a bundle of nerves.
Spirituality Meets Motherhood
The session began on a solemn note, with videos showing Alia and Sadhguru joined in silent prayer before the discussion. This wasn’t just a celebrity appearance; it appeared to be a genuine quest for balance. Alia has previously shared her interest in “ancient advice for modern parents,” even posting about books like The Parent’s Tao Te Ching.
Sadhguru emphasized that children don’t need “management”—they need a life that is worth emulating. He suggested that instead of “winding” themselves up with stress, parents should focus on their own inner well-being, as children absorb the energy of those around them more than the words spoken to them.
The Raha Effect
Since the birth of Raha in November 2022, Alia and husband Ranbir Kapoor have been fiercely protective of their daughter’s privacy. However, Alia has become increasingly vocal about the “mom guilt” and the constant self-reflection that comes with raising a child in the spotlight.
The interaction concluded on a warm note, with the two seen chatting animatedly and Alia holding the spiritual leader’s hand, looking visibly lighter after the exchange.
What’s Next for Alia?
While she continues to seek spiritual grounding, Alia’s professional calendar remains packed. She is currently gearing up for the spy thriller Alpha and the highly anticipated Love & War, where she will share the screen with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
For now, it seems the actress is taking Sadhguru’s advice to heart: to be the best version of herself so that Raha can grow up in the light of joy, rather than the shadow of worry. To know such
