Mumbai, Sep 27 (NationPress) Alia Bhatt is elevating her fitness routine and has discovered a thrilling new interest—padel!

This talented actress has recently been seen enthusiastically participating in this rapidly rising racket sport. On Friday, Alia shared a video showcasing her skills in padel, stating, "Some debates were had regarding my obsession with padel… #hardfacts." Clad in stylish sportswear, Alia is thoroughly enjoying this dynamic sport, which combines elements of both tennis and squash. To set the mood, she included the energetic rap 'Apna Time Aayega' from her film “Gully Boy” as the video’s soundtrack.

For those who are unfamiliar, padel is an increasingly popular racket sport captivating audiences globally with its fun and fitness advantages. Unlike conventional racket sports, a padel court is about one-third the size of a traditional tennis court and is encased by glass or mesh walls. Players can utilize these walls to bounce the ball and can even step outside the court through designated doors to return shots.

On the professional front, Alia Bhatt is generating excitement with her upcoming film alongside her mother, Soni Razdan, titled “Difficult Daughters,” which is garnering attention at Busan’s Asian Project Market. The duo recently discussed their vision for this adaptation of Manju Kapur’s celebrated novel.

“Difficult Daughters” traverses two different timelines, focusing on the story of Virmati, the eldest of ten children in a traditional Punjabi family during the 1940s in Lahore. Driven to pursue both education and love, she challenges societal expectations, only to face unforeseen repercussions when she becomes the second wife of a married professor.

Having last appeared in “Jigra,” Alia is also preparing for her next significant project, the action-packed film “Alpha,” where she co-stars with Sharvari and Bobby Deol. Set to debut next year, this movie promises to showcase Alia in a powerful, action-filled role.
