Alia Bhatt is elevating her fitness journey and has discovered a new passion—padel!
Recently, the actress has been spotted enthusiastically engaging in this rapidly-growing racket sport. On Friday, Alia shared a video showcasing her skills in padel. Along with the clip, she remarked, “Some arguments were had over my padel obsession… #hardfacts.” Sporting trendy athleisure, Alia was seen relishing her time on the padel court, a sport that blends elements of tennis and squash. The background score featured the catchy ‘Apna Time Aayega’ rap from her film “Gully Boy.”
For those unfamiliar, padel is gaining global popularity for its fun and fitness benefits. Unlike traditional racket sports, a padel court is about one-third the size of a tennis court, enclosed by glass or mesh walls. Players can utilize these walls to bounce the ball and even step outside the court through a door to return shots.
On the professional front, Alia Bhatt’s upcoming film with her mother, Soni Razdan, titled “Difficult Daughters,” is making headlines at Busan’s Asian Project Market. The duo recently discussed their vision for the project, an adaptation of Manju Kapur’s acclaimed novel.
“Difficult Daughters” spans two timelines and follows the journey of Virmati, the eldest of ten children in a traditional Punjabi household during the 1940s in Lahore. Determined to seek education and love, she challenges societal norms, only to encounter unexpected consequences when she becomes the second wife of a married professor.
Recently seen in “Jigra,” Alia is also preparing for her next big project, the action-packed film “Alpha,” co-starring Sharvari and Bobby Deol. Set for release next year, the movie promises to showcase Alia in an intense, action-oriented role.
