Hectic promotions for films often leave celebrities feeling drained and even under the weather. We hear Alia Bhatt, who is currently on a whirlwind publicity tour for her upcoming film Shaandaar, is battling stress and has been advised to practise yoga.
A source close to the 22-year-old says, “Alia grinds her teeth when stressed and had been doing so a lot lately. As a result, she began experiencing excruciating pain in her jaw and head. It became intolerable after a point and she took some time off to consult a dentist, who advised her to practise yoga. In fact, she has started taking lessons and feels better now,” adds the source.
The actress has been travelling to various cities for promotions and interacting with the media as well. “Promotions are undoubtedly tiring, but one cannot avoid it. Alia has busy times ahead with Gauri Shinde’s project likely to go on floors next month. With regular yoga practice, she hopes to tackle stress. She is already feeling refreshed,” adds the source.
Alia, who was in Bangalore yesterday, could not be reached for a comment.
