Navya Naveli Nanda has turned out to be a social media sensation owing to her podcast What the Hell Navya. For the latest episode, Shweta Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan made an appearance on the show and the trio discussed life as public figures, and also their own relationship with each other.
In the third episode, Shweta and Jaya revealed that Navya is the ‘biggest liar’ and she never gets away with her lies, all thanks to her fibbing about ‘stupid things’. Shweta said, “You always get caught.”
Shweta recalled a story about Navya and her brother Agastya enjoying their night at a Christmas party and lying about when they were coming back home.
“Once, in Delhi, Agastya and Navya had gone to a party a couple of years ago. They had a deadline and it was way past that deadline. So, I called and I said, ‘Where are you guys?’ And Navya said, ‘We’re just turning around into the house’. They were still at the party, which was at the farm area in Delhi, which is easily an hour away. And Agastya’s like, ‘Mom, did she think you’re stupid?'”
To which Jaya Bachchan chimed in and revealed that Amitabh did not allow the kids to go out. They’d only be allowed outside ‘with certain people’ and that, too, until curfew time, which was the moment the streetlights were turned on.
Later Jaya Bachchan recalled her own story about catching Navya red-handed and said revealed, “Navya had gone out. And I can’t sleep until the kids get back. I keep getting up. I can walk in the dark. So, it was really late. I asked the security, ‘Navya baby aagaye?’ They said, ‘Nahi, magar unka security aagaya.’ I was worried, and I would never do this, but I called her. I said, ‘Navya, where are you?’ She said she’s in her room. So, I got out of bed, I shut my door, and I walked out, and madam was coming up.”
Navya said, “That was bad. It was a very awkward situation.”
Meanwhile, speaking of her professional life, Navya has repeatedly said that she has no interest in joining the film industry.
She is one of the co-founders of the organisations Aara Health, described as ‘a secure, non-judgmental, and trustworthy virtual healthcare platform for women’ and Project Naveli, through which she will ‘fight’ gender inequality in the areas of education, financial independence, mental and physical health, and domestic violence.
