You have had top Bollywood actors going abroad to do various short-term courses — be it filmmaking, scriptwriting or even something as sensitive as how to stammer for a role they are attempting.

So, it comes as no surprise that Alia Bhatt, who has a slate of unusual films ranging from a thriller to a superhero one, has apparently enrolled for a course in changing your body language, in a New York institute. From the sound of it, the course does seem intriguing. After all, when you read about it, your first reaction is —what does it entail? Well, certain institutions train professionals like actors, teachers and even the layman on how to communicate best with your body.

Body language helps to gain insights into what others are thinking and what you may wish to communicate to them without speaking. This helps to improve your day-to-day communication. The lessons taught here are scientifically-backed.

When contacted, Alia confirmed the news, adding, ‘I think enrolling in the body language course will help me with each character that I play, so that I don't become repetitive.’
