Have you ever wondered how Bollywood’s busiest bee keeps buzzing without getting tired? Alia Bhatt is in a new relationship with padel, which means she has to give up the red carpets for racket swings. This isn’t just a passing interest; it’s a full-blown fixation that makes the Gangubai Kathiawadi star sweat between big movie shootings. Alia posted a hot Instagram video of herself dominating the court on September 27, 2025. She captioned it with a clever reference to the “arguments” that her love of padel has caused. In a world full of auditions and action scenes, this tiny powerhouse is teaching us how a short game can give even the busiest life a boost.
Sweating It Out on the Court
Padel is a mix of tennis and squash that is played on a court that is just one-third the size of a tennis court. The walls are made of glass, which lets you bounce balls like a video game pro. Alia Bhatt walks into the screen in sleek athletic clothes with her racket and says, “You only have to put that much effort,” before hitting a bunch of exquisite smashes. Since early 2025, she’s been hooked and has been seen in Mumbai courts with friends like Aditya Seal for friendly matches. In January, she even made it a family event, with her daughter Raha cheering on (and racing) her husband Ranbir from the sidelines. In between getting ready for Alpha, her high-kick spy thriller that comes out on Christmas 2025, and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, padel has become her secret tool for staying sharp and sane.

Why Padel? The Ideal Fit for Celebrities
What is it about padel Alia’s jam that makes it so good? It’s quick, intense, and forgiving, which is perfect for a mom with one child who has to deal with Jigra’s emotional depths and supernatural thrills like the fabled Chamunda. A 30-minute match burns calories and builds strategy and social skills, just like her on-screen friendship in Student of the Year. Celebrities like Ibrahim Ali Khan are also getting into it and calling it “Padel Fever” on social media. What does Alia Bhatt think? It’s low-pressure enjoyment that fits with her idea of balanced wellness—like getting high on endorphins without getting tired.
How to Find Your Inner Alia Bhatt
Want to join the padel party? Begin small: Pop-up courts are all around Mumbai, such at Willingdon Sports. Get a beginning racket (less than Rs 5,000), find a friend to play with, and practice wall bounces to win easily. Alia’s playbook has this pro tip: Add smoothies after the game to get that glow-up. As she fights through the mayhem of 2025’s reel, her padel pivot shows that stars recharge best by performing, not posing. Who’s your next opponent?
