Alia Bhatt ‘sailed through’ her pregnancy during Heart of Stone shoot; actress’ trainer shares how she 'remotely' prepped for action scenes

As a dedicated follower of Alia Bhatt’s career and life journey, I must say that her strength and resilience continue to amaze me. Despite being pregnant during the filming of Heart of Stone, she managed to pull off action sequences with ease, all while working out remotely due to the pandemic. This is not just talent and dedication at play; it’s a testament to Alia’s awareness of her body and her determination to excel in every role she takes on.


Alia Bhatt debuted in Hollywood with the 2023 film “Heart of Stone” while pregnant with her daughter Raha. During the production of this action-packed thriller, she successfully navigated her pregnancy. Lately, Alia’s fitness instructor disclosed that the actress managed to excel throughout her pregnancy on set. Additionally, they discussed how Alia prepared for the action sequences remotely.

In a chat with India Today, Anshuka Parwani spoke about coaching Alia Bhatt for Heart of Stone during her pregnancy. She explained that because of the COVID-19 pandemic, she wasn’t able to join Alia on set, so they instead worked out their training sessions remotely.

Anshuka pointed out that under regular circumstances, she wouldn’t coach someone in an online setting, but Alia had a unique understanding of her body. She expressed, “I believe it would be difficult for anyone to discern that she was pregnant during the film shoot or while performing those action scenes. Alia handled it effortlessly, as if sailing through on a calm sea.

As a devoted disciple, I’d like to share my experience: The mentor commended me for my approach and explained that the progress was just a ‘natural unfolding.’ Anshuka articulated that with some tweaks, it became a ‘breeze.’ She emphasized that it wasn’t easy, but maintaining the right attitude proved crucial in the end.

On November 6, 2022, Alia Bhatt became a mother to baby Raha. She frequently shares sweet snapshots of her daughter on social media. Recently, Alia, along with her husband Ranbir Kapoor and their child, went to Paris. Neetu Kapoor joined them too. In September 23, 2024, Alia made a stunning appearance at the Paris Fashion Week for her debut.

In terms of films, Alia is preparing for the premiere of her movie titled “Jigra”. This upcoming film promises an exciting blend of action and suspense, revolving around a daring prison escape. Alia’s character, Satya, will be shown going to extraordinary measures to safeguard her brother Ankur, portrayed by Vedang Raina.
