Alia Bhatt, one of Bollywood’s most versatile actresses, has seamlessly balanced multiple roles in recent years. From becoming a global fashion icon and representing top brands to being a hands-on mother to her two-year-old daughter, Raha, she has done it all. Despite her busy life, Alia maintained her fitness, shedding postpartum weight just in time for Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. On Alia's 32nd birthday, let’s revisit how she set the record straight about her natural, balanced fitness journey.
In an old interview with Kareena Kapoor Khan on her chat show, What Women Want, Alia Bhatt openly addressed her weight loss journey after giving birth to her baby girl, Raha. She revealed it wasn’t about extreme diets or intense workouts but a balanced approach. The actress also pointed out how breastfeeding played a key role in helping her shed weight. She shared:
“It was not easy, of course. Nothing is easy. But honestly… while I was doing everything like eating healthy, I was still feeding. I was breastfeeding for a very long time, so I couldn’t go on some crazy strict diet or anything like that. And I could only start working out properly after 12 weeks. Breastfeeding actually makes you burn a lot of calories, that I think did half of it.”
This was not the only time that Alia spoke up about her weight loss postpartum. She has mentioned time and again how, rather than sticking to a strict diet to rush the process, she started with basic strength training during pregnancy and post-delivery, and she slowly reintroduced workouts under medical supervision.
In July 2023, Alia Bhatt took to her YouTube and gave fans a sneak peek into the shooting of the song, Tum Kya Mile from Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. She shared that she was expected to shed her postpartum weight within four months to portray the character of ‘Rani’, and she had to be extra careful doing the same. She shared:
“This is the first thing I was shooting after giving birth and I had to go back to Rani shape. I had four months to prep. We have two weeks to the song and I was able to only start working out after six weeks post-partum, and we started very slow. We had a very large goal to reach but we had to do it safely.”
Alia also addressed rumours about using weight loss shortcuts like Ozempic or undergoing procedures. In an interview with Vogue India, the actress shunned the buzz by explaining how she could not even get her wisdom tooth extracted postpartum due to breastfeeding restrictions, let alone take risks with her health. She was quoted as saying:

“I know everyone believes that I lost weight unnaturally but the truth is that I can’t even get my wisdom tooth extracted at the moment since I’m breastfeeding and can’t be given anaesthesia… I did everything naturally, both during and post-pregnancy. I started going on 15-minute walks and doing breathing exercises as it improves blood flow… I avoided checking my weight every day like many people do when they work out religiously.”
On the professional front, Alia Bhatt is gearing up for her next film, Love & War alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
