Amitabh Bachchan’s granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda, who is busy with her entrepreneurial venture and her podcast What The Hell Navya, took some time out to chat with WhatsNew2Day. Navya Nanda, in conversation with WhatsNew2Day’s Abira Rao, revealed that her grandmother Jaya Bachchan is the “real star” of her podcast What The Hell Navya. “She has now become Nani to everyone. People in the comments now call her Nani. She is the real star of the show. Everyone unanimously loves listening to her.” Navya said. The 26-year-old also revealed that her favorite episode of her podcast this season was the one with her brother and actor Agastya Nanda.
Meanwhile, during the latest episode of Navya Naveli Nanda’s podcast What The Hell Navya season 2, Jaya Bachchan talked about how she and her husband, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan, have to move with the times or else they will be left behind. It happened when Jaya, her daughter Shweta Bachchan and granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda were discussing changing times and different parenting strategies. Shweta said her superstar parents were ‘protective’ but she is not with Navya. To this, Jaya said, “We were more protective because we didn’t know any better. That’s what we were taught. That’s how they were raised. You were raised differently. You will raise your children even differently.”
After that, Navya Navya Naveli Navya appreciated her grandparents – Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan for keeping pace with the times. She said, “I feel like today when I look at you, when I look at Nana, I feel like you’re older than a certain age, you’re adapting to the current times and that’s such a beautiful thing .” Jaya emphasized that this is something they must do “otherwise we will be left behind.”
On the work front, Jaya Bachchan was last seen in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani as Dhanalakshmi Randhawa. The film was headlined by Ranveer Singh as Rocky Randhawa and Alia Bhatt in the role of Rani Chatterjee.
