Amitabh Bachchan’s granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda has been winning recognition and accolades for her work in the health sector. In a recent interview, the entrepreneur and podcast host spoke about how many question her because of her age. She added that given India’s majority of the population is the youth, they cannot wait for a certain age to bring about the change.
Navya will be seen in the upcoming episode of Phir Ziddi Hi Sahi with Supriya Paul. In the promo of the show, shared on social media, Navya said, “Toh ek cheez jo main baar-baar sunti hoon ki ‘Aap bahut young ho, aapke paas experience nahi hai’. Toh woh hamesha uth jaata hai ek question ki ‘Arrey, aap toh 25 saal ki ho, aapko kya experience hai life ke baare mein? Toh aap kaise in cheezon ke baare mein kaam kar sakte ho?’ You know healthcare, legal awareness, domestic violence… (The one question I hear time and again is about my age and therefore lack of experience. People ask how can I work on healthcare, legal awareness, and domestic violence when I am only 25).”
She further said, “Main hamesha sochti hoon ki arrey main agar 80 saal tak rukh jaaun kuch karne ke liye, toh duniya ka kya hoga? Humari at least majority iss desh ki 80 percent jo log hai, humare age group ke hai na? Bees se tees saal ke hai. Agar hum sab abhi pachas saal tak wait karlenge kuch karne ke liye toh yeh peedhi ka kya hoga? Iss generation ka kya hoga? Badlaav kaun laayega? Aaj mujhe lagta hai ki yeh jo nayi peedhi aayi hai bachho ki, unko itna gyaan hai itni kam umar mein, toh hume underestimate bhi nahi karna chahiye kyunki hum bahut capable hai aaj (Should I wait to turn 80, then how will things change? The majority of our population is young, so what will happen to the generation? If we all wait for the next 50 years then what will happen to the generation? Who will bring the change? I think we are smart and have vast knowledge about things, and should not be underestimated).”
Her words and beliefs left fans quite impressed as they dropped messages appreciating her clarity of thoughts. Some of the comments on the post read, “Someone from Bollywood with some genuine knowledge., “Well done dear… keep it up,” and “I have always believed that age is just a number. Looking forward to the full episode!” Many even appreciated Navya’s Hindi skills, lauding her for taking on from her great grandfather, poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
While her younger brother Agastya Nanda is set to make his Bollywood debut with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies, Navya Nanda has maintained that she wants to tread the path set by her father and paternal grandmother and aunt, and venture into entrepreneurship. She launched her podcast last year where she was joined by mother Sweta Bachchan and grandmother, actor Jaya Bachchan, as they spoke about issues like love, financial independence and women’s health.
