After making her mark as an entrepreneur, Navya Naveli Nanda has now turned into a podcaster with What The Hell Navya. In a recent interaction with indianexpress.com, the 24-year-old shared that she was very excited to venture into this new medium. Her mother Shweta Bachchan and grandmother Jaya Bachchan have also joined Navya on the podcast.

“I think the three of us were really excited. This is something we literally do at home every single evening. So, it was also something that came across very naturally. The concept of it and the idea. So I think that excitement was the overall emotion for all of us,” she shared.

When asked if it was tough to convince her mom and ‘nani’, Navya smiled to say, “It actually wasn’t. They were very excited. My mom is actually someone who loves podcasts. She listens to podcasts every day. So she was excited about that and my nani is a sport. She’s always ready to try something new. So it wasn’t difficult to convince them at all.”
