About the Bachchan family

Navya Naveli Nanda is the daughter of Shweta Bachchan and businessman Nikhil Nanda, and the granddaughter of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. Her younger brother, Agastya, is an actor, who made his acting debut with Zoya Akhtar's The Archies. Navya is an entrepreneur and the co-founder of Aara Health, a healthcare platform focused on women's health. Aaradhya, meanwhile, is the daughter of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

In a conversation with Mojo Story last year, Navya spoke about how she, her brother Agastya and cousin Aaradhya had grown up learning the importance of respect from their grandparents. She said, “The first thing that we have grown up around is a lot of respect and family. I think respect is something that lies at the heart of who we are as people, whether it’s my grandparents or the youngest member of my family, my cousin or my brother. We have a lot of respect, not just for each other or for people, but also for what we do and where we come from.”
