Alia Bhatts trainer reveals how she shot action scenes in Heart Of Stone
When Alia Bhatt shot for her Hollywood debut Heart Of Stone, she was already pregnant with her daughter but that did not stop her from packing some punches. Anshuka Parwani, the actress’ fitness trainer recently revealed that she sailed through her pregnancy during the shoot.
She said in an interview, “I still remember, Alia was shooting for her first international project, Heart of Stone. That role required Alia to do a lot of action sequences, and of course, at that point, I knew she was pregnant with Raha. Alia and I started preparing for that role while she was expecting. In fact, while she was shooting for it, we were working out remotely because, unfortunately, at that time, I did not travel with her. It was Covid-19, so I wouldn’t train anybody online without the awareness of their body and yoga.”
She added that Alia understood pregnancy as a natural process and adapted with ease. “The fact that she was pregnant and had to do action sequences- nobody would be comfortable training her online in a situation”, she said and added, “but because Alia has that kind of awareness, during that stipulated period, we did train remotely. I don’t think anybody could even tell that she was pregnant during the shoot of the film or while she was doing those action sequences. Alia sailed through it like a breeze. Her attitude in approaching things was literally everything because she knew it was a natural process, and with some adjustments here and there, it all became a cakewalk. I’m not saying it’s a very simple process, but it’s the right attitude that eventually matters.”
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor welcomed their daughter Raha in November 2022. The actress is currently gearing up for the release of her film, Jigra.
