Alia Bhatt says she is not willing to “Sacrifice family time for work anymore”, speaks on balancing professional and personal life

Actress Alia Bhatt has opened up about her honest opinion on juggling work and personal life. In a new interview with Femina, she said that the secret lies in choosing the biggest priority of the moment. “Balance is not always consistent and something always has to suffer,” Alia said.

The Gully Boy actress further added, “You might think you can do everything and nothing will suffer. You might be able to do everything, but your peace of mind will probably suffer. And I think that's what happens very often because I want to be present with everything personally, and I want to be present professionally. But in the bargain, I'm taking no time out for myself, giving myself no thought. So, I think it's about trying to choose your biggest priority at that moment."

Alia also recalled someone telling her that she can never be a “great parent.”

“Somebody once told me that you can never be a great parent or a great professional or a great daughter or a great anything,” she said. “‘Greatness' is just extremely overrated. You just have to be good enough and honest. And keep communication wide open. So, that's what I try to do: keep communication wide open with my friends and my family, and with myself. But even then, sometimes, I feel as if I take on too much, but I also feel like I thrive with responsibility. I don't have the answers."

During the same interview, Alia also clarified that she will no longer sacrifice her family time for work. She recalled the time when she was willing to sacrifice everything, including sleep and family time, for work. However, it has changed over time.

“I used to be that person who would sacrifice everything for work," she said. "I would sacrifice sleep, I would sacrifice family time, I would sacrifice everything. But now, I'm not that person anymore. I've realized that my family is my biggest priority, and I'm not willing to sacrifice that for anything.”

Alia is currently waiting for the release of her next film, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Directed by Karan Johar, it also stars Ranveer Singh, Shabana Azmi, Dharmendra and Jaya Bachchan. It will release on July 28.

23 Years of Lagaan: “A famous painter heard 'O Paalanhaare' and told me, ‘Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist aisa bhajan nahin likh sakta’” - Javed Akhtar

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track. At a show ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon’, the legendary songwriter opened up about this song and confessed that he got this surprising reaction often. He also revealed how he responds to such comments in his trademark humourous style. Javed Akhtar said, “A famous painter, Chanda, called me and said, ‘Javed, tum apne aap ko atheist kehte ho. Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist...
