Navya not interested in acting

Navya used to host her own podcast - What The Hell Navya - with her grandmother Jaya, and mother, Shweta. They discussed various topics revolving around feminism and the role of women in society. At an event, Shweta clarified that Navya is not interested in following in her grandparents, uncle Abhishek Bachchan, aunt Aishwarya Rai Bachchan or brother Agastya Nanda’s footsteps.

At the event in June, when Shweta was asked if Navya will also act, she replied, “I think you are very well acquainted with the work Navya does and she has her hands full. I don't think Bollywood is the way to go for her.” She was there on behalf of her daughter to accept an award for the podcast.

Navya had also told Hindustan Times in the past, “Well, I also come from a business family too. So, I was very clear that (I don’t want to join acting and do this). At the end of college, I realised that this is what I wanted to do.”
