Alia Bhatt recommends young women be kind to themselves.
Alia Bhatt said young women should focus on internal health and not superficial appearance. “It’s not about every little splodge of skin on your body. You can’t be squishing it and thinking, This is an issue. That is an issue,”   “I’m saying, if you pick on yourself first, then you’re inviting every other [person’s] negative thoughts towards your body,” she said.

She advised women to be confident and love themselves so nothing can bother them. “Stay active, eat good foods. Eat crap as well, if you want. Because if that’s something that you want to do on a particular day, please go ahead and do it. You have one life, so just enjoy it as much as possible,”
