Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan’s granddaughter, Navya Naveli Nanda, possesses an entrepreneurial spirit and is actively pursuing new initiatives. At the India Today Mumbai Conclave 2024, she discussed her decision not to pursue acting, despite her entire maternal family, including her brother Agastya Nanda, being involved in the entertainment industry.
Navya Naveli Nanda declares her passion for social impact and business over acting; says, “I never wanted to act”
Navya emphasized the importance of fulfilling one’s legacy, stating that her true passions lie in social impact and business, which is where she intends to focus her future efforts. Navya said, “Irrespective of the background I come from, this is what I always wanted to do. I am grateful for all the opportunity that is my reality today. That is not the reality for many people in India. I never wanted to act.”
For those unfamiliar, Navya is the daughter of Amitabh Bachchan’s eldest daughter, Shweta Bachchan Nanda, who married businessman Nikhil Nanda on February 16, 1997. Recently, Navya made headlines with her podcast What the Hell, Navya, where she addressed various social issues alongside her mother and maternal grandmother as guests.
Navya faced criticism regarding her admission to IIM, with some questioning her achievements and qualifications. During the conclave, the 26-year-old discussed how she shields herself from social media trolling and mentioned that she pays little attention to it. She believes social media has provided many people with a platform to express their voices and is an excellent venue to showcase their work.
Navya described herself as privileged to be a member of IIM and said, “I have made an active choice to put my work and myself out there. I don’t take offense to anything that people say. I come from a very privileged background. My reality has been different from that of many women in the country. I don’t give too much thought to what people say negatively.”
Navya Naveli Nanda graduated from Fordham University in 2020 and co-founded Aara Health, a health-tech platform, that same year.
