Alia's new fitness love: Paddle
In the video, Alia is seen taking powerful swings with her paddle, showing off impressive agility as she nails shot after shot. Dressed in a chic blue sports bra and matching shorts, she looked every bit the fitness diva.
The video, set to the upbeat track Mere Gully Mein from Gully Boy, started with her witty line, "You have to put only that much effort." The actress captioned the video with a humorous statement, "Some arguments were had over my paddle obsession...."
Interestingly, Alia isn’t the only one smitten by this sport, her husband Ranbir Kapoor has also been spotted playing padel with her. It seems the sport has become their new bonding activity, blending fitness and fun into their busy routines.

What exactly is Paddle?
Padel is a fast-growing racket sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. Played on a smaller enclosed court, usually in doubles, it uses tennis-style scoring but has its own set of rules. Think of it as tennis with a twist—easy to pick up, yet physically demanding enough to keep you sweating throughout.
