For those unaware, Padel, a rapidly rising racket sport, is attracting attention worldwide for its fun and fitness benefits. Unlike traditional racket sports, a padel court is roughly one-third the size of a tennis court and is enclosed by glass or mesh walls. Players can use these walls to bounce the ball, and even step outside the court through a door to return shots.

On the professional front, Alia Bhatt’s upcoming film with her mother, Soni Razdan, titled “Difficult Daughters,” is making waves at Busan’s Asian Project Market. The duo recently shared insights about their vision for the project, which is an adaptation of Manju Kapur’s acclaimed novel.

“Difficult Daughters” spans two timelines and follows the story of Virmati, the eldest of ten children in a traditional Punjabi household in 1940s Lahore. Determined to pursue education and love, she defies societal norms, only to face unexpected consequences when she becomes the second wife of a married professor.

Alia, who was last seen in “Jigra,” is also gearing up for her next big project, the action-packed film “Alpha,” co-starring Sharvari and Bobby Deol. Set to release next year, the movie promises to showcase Alia in an intense, action-oriented avatar.
