Navya Naveli Nanda is different from many celebrity kids who usually enter the entertainment world like their parents. Although she could've easily chosen a film career, Navya decided to contribute to her father's business. In a CNBC-TV18 interview, Navya talked about her career goals and future business plans. When asked why she didn't go into films like her grandparents, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, she explained that both sides of her family have a strong business background. Her father's family has a four-generation history in business, making it a familiar path for her.

"Both sides of my family have a rich heritage. On my father's side, we have a four-generation history in business. While this might be surprising for some, it doesn't pose a challenge for me; I find it to be a familiar and straightforward path." Navya was quoted as saying.

Navya shared that she grew up in Delhi with her paternal grandfather and father. Early on, she was involved in discussions about stock markets, shaping her understanding of business.
