Amitabh Bachchan with Jaya Bachchan.
Navya Nanda praised Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan for adapting to the current time.
On the latest episode of the ‘What The Hell Navya’ podcast, Navya Nanda praised her grandmother Jaya Bachchan for keeping up with the current time and being adaptive. Navya, Jaya and Shweta Bachchan spoke about the challenges of changing times and the need to experiment with life at different ages.
Navya Naveli Nanda said, “I feel today, looking at you, looking at Nana (Amitabh Bachchan), I feel that you are over a certain age, you are adapting to current times and that’s such a beautiful thing.” Jaya Bachchan added that they have to do this “or else we will be left behind”.
Navya praised her grandparents and said, “It can’t be easy for you all to suddenly now see all of these new things happening. But the fact that you are so willing to adapt and change with the times is great and I appreciate that.”
Jaya Bachchan also mentioned that she loves spending time with the younger generation. “I identify with it a 100 per cent. I was like this. I wanted to do so much. The best compliment that I can give to the younger generation is – I love my friends, I enjoy spending time with them but I enjoy spending time with the younger generation a lot more. I love sitting and listening to them and I love seeing them interact. It’s very stimulating for me,” she said.
During the episode, Jaya Bachchan also spoke about how as parents, different generations have to adapt to different practices. Shweta Bachchan said that her parents were more protective of her than she is of Navya. “We were more protective because we didn’t know any better. That’s what we were taught. That’s how we were brought up. You (Shweta) have been brought up differently. You will bring up your children even more differently,” Jaya replied.
