Alia talks about her anxiety and ADHD - Page 2

Anyone who takes mental health seriously shouldn't be talking to Jay Shetty ,a conman who has fleeced thousands of dollars from desperate hopeless people who wished to turned their lives around.

Deepika refered to him as a 'professional' in the field when she appeared on his show. Terribly irresponsible for an 'ambassador' of mental health. That's how little she cares about her cause. She knows the association with him is good for the algorithm.

But okay, to be fair to her even smart people with experience and decent credentials have fallen for his scam .

Alia and many actors have fear of missing out on good movies and working with good directors.

Then she has too much on her plate. A child, a garment business, writing some story book, some movie production house, her acting career, brand appearances, and also being a Kapoor bahu. She was mentioning that she had planned the New year holiday for everyone and all praised her. She also puts posts for her husband and promotes his movies on IG as he doesn't have an ID.

And some ppl want to be good in all and excel everywhere. That also leads to anxiety in some people.

Was this like when she said on KWK that she organizes all the Kapoors for the big family picture on Christmas and Kareena wouldn’t confirm her story? I guess good thing there was no Kareena here, or on her family vacations.

Alia is always in search of validation from everyone around her on every issue. Why bring up that everyone praised her for planning the vacation?

She mentioned it n the recent podcast. Nothing specific, she said she likes to plan her day and other things. In that context she told.

Big actors should stay away from doing these podcasts. They do more harm than good.

Deepika also did podcast with him? Oh no

He might be popular but I don't like him. There is nothing spiritual about his content.

If I remember right, we already had a thread where Jay Shetty was mentioned (with his podcast and as a 'life coach'). To me, a very shady man whom I won't trust... at least not confide to him serious issues.

I won't listen to that podcast as I think that the man is a big fraud and Alia might be a small one...both have their fans - I'm not one of them. I definitely like some of Alia's performances as an actress but apart from that I'm not interested in what she has to tell - neither there nor on KWK nor on social media.

Influencer Jay Shetty Accused Of Lying About Past: All You Need To Know British Influencer and author Jay Shetty is under scrutiny after claims emerged that he lied about his life story and plagiarized social media posts.

A report by the British daily newspaper The Guardian said that Mr Shetty, who officiated actors Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage in 2022, falsely claimed to have spent three years in a temple in India.

Jay Shetty Controversy

Jay Shetty runs a meditation startup valued at $2 billion. His official website said that during his school years, he spent vacations living with monks in India, immersing himself in their wisdom and teachings.

However, The Guardian report claims that the 36-year-old falsely claimed to have spent three years in a temple in India.

“After graduating, Shetty forgoes a life of material success to live as a monk himself,” said the report. “Three years later, he has another revelation: his purpose in life is not to live the humble life of a monk but to use his preternatural oratory skills to share wisdom with the world. Thus begins his transformation into a public self-help personality and his swift rise to fame. Shetty's success is largely predicated on this riches-to-rags-to-riches backstory,” it said

Questioning the veracity of Jay Shetty's story, the report added, " But people close to Shetty have questioned whether his conversion to a life of monkhood was quite so dramatic. Much of Shetty's spiritual education took place not in India but in Watford, an orbital town outside north-west London, they say. He was there not because of spiritual discovery in college but because he grew up in the International Society for Krishna Consciousness."

The British daily newspaper also questioned Mr Shetty's academic qualifications, pointing out discrepancies in his resume, including a degree from a business school that does not offer the claimed course.

The report said, “Shetty is hardly the first self-help guru to embellish his spiritual credentials to amass followers, but he demands huge sums of money for his guidance. Shetty has used his spiritual authority to launch a number of subscription and education services, including the life-coaching school, which charges $7,400 a term for ‘Postgraduate Diploma (Level 7) qualifications' – equivalent to a master's degree.”

Did Jay Shetty Respond?

Jay Shetty has not directly addressed the accusations.

However, following the report, Mr Shetty has reportedly directed his team to attribute content properly, delete a number of posts, and hire a crisis PR firm for a comprehensive SEO campaign.

People who know Mr Shetty are disputing his claim of spending an extended time in India as a monk, the report said.

According to Mr Shetty's travel blog at the time, he considered "Bhaktivedanta Manor" as his main ashram.

In a 2011 post, he mentioned returning from "almost four months in India" before engaging in activities at London's City University and "distributing flyers and books on the streets all over the UK and enjoying festivals."

However, some of his former associates said that he primarily stayed at an estate near London called Bhaktivedanta Manor, rather than in Indian city Mumbai.

While Mr Shetty's legal team maintains he spent only a few months at Bhaktivedanta Manor before moving to India, others disagree, The Guardian reported.

How Social Media Reacted

Social media reactions to the accusations against Jay Shetty have been mixed.

Some claim that they were already suspicious of him being a “fraud”, while others were “disheartened” by the news.

A user wrote on X, formerly Twitter, “Why are people actually surprised by Jay Shetty lying about his past and plagiarising content? Have y'all learned nothing from every single public figure/influencer who claims to be “enlightened” and shares cheesy quotes and pop psychology “facts” on their spiritual mission.”

Another wrote, “This is so disheartening. I have heard a few of Jay Shetty's podcasts, the pop psychology, the secular spiritualism, hints at Krishna consciousness, his soothing manner of speaking, can quite understand the mass following. Whether he wore sweatpants & not robes when he was a monk, is frankly inconsequential. Hope Shetty speaks out about these accusations.”

“The way I was always waiting for Jay Shetty to get exposed. I knew he was a scam!!!!” read another comment.

Someone stated, “Jay Shetty finally being exposed as a fraud is the downfall I was praying for.”

“Jay Shetty being a fake persona is real but there was this video from him which made my approach towards life simple, always grateful for that.”

Jay Shetty is the author of the bestselling book 'Think Like A Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Every Day' and has achieved significant success in the wellness industry.

Pooja Bhatt once revealed she and Mahesh Bhatt have lifelong OCD, an extreme form of anxitey & discomfort.

Yeah, what you posted is among the things I got to know...there is even more...just one of those persons hot for money and attention one should take a distance to as they gain it through duping people... like one should keep a healthy distance to the Hare Krishna movement Jay Shetty grew up with (a religious organisation that is as suspicious to me as many, many other religious organisations).
