She added that the signs were always there – she would zone out in classes and during conversations, which was noticed by her friends. But she didn’t know what caused her ‘normal’.
She said, in the same interview, that she feels most calm and present when she is with her daughter, Raha, or when she is in the middle of filming.

As an example of when her ADHD affected her actions, she recalled that her make-up artist, Puneet B Saini, wanted to spend a couple of hours doing her make-up on her wedding day. She said she had no patience for this.
Bhatt is married to fellow actor Ranbir Kapoor and they have one daughter together. He recently told ANI in an interview that Bhatt had planned everything for their wedding day. He said: "My wife planned everything, I just had to follow her lead. Our wedding took place at our home only. So, it was not that hectic. And it was just perfect marriage. To be bride groom again in this collection just feels good."
