Recently, Navya revealed that there have been several requests to see Amitabh Bachchan on the vodcast. While she didn't reveal if he will make an appearance, Navya admitted that Big B has “adapted himself across generations.” “I can’t think of anybody else who has continued to recreate and reinvent themselves the way he has,” added Navya.


“Nani is unanimously the star of the show. The feedback has been all around her and everyone just loves her. They love how unapologetically vocal she is and she is the main star of What The Hell Navya.” 

Jaya has a complicated relationship with the paparazzi, and the viral memes about her are often discussed by three women. In response to this, the 26-year-old shared her thoughts.,  “Jaya-ing has become a pop culture phenomenon now. The paps and nani are having fun now. When the cameras are off, they’re sweet to each other and have a little chat. They’re friends now.”

Previously when asked by News18 if Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan would make an appearence on the show, Navya jokingly said that discussing that would require a whole separate podcast. She added that she doesn't know if they are deserving of his presence on their show but expressed openness to the idea of a special appearance in the future. She said, "That's a whole other podcast itself (laugh). I don't know if we are deserving of his presence on our show. But ya sure, maybe one day as a special appearance."

Navya hosts the vodcast, which recently returned with its second season, featuring her, her grandmother Jaya Bachchan, and her mother Shweta Bachchan. Navya is the daughter of Shweta Bachchan and businessman Nikhil Nanda, and her uncle is Abhishek Bachchan.

Navya may belong to a family of actors, but she has carved a niche for herself by pursuing her passion for entrepreneurship. In 2021, she launched Project Naveli to fight gender inequality in the country. Navya also has a brother Agastya, who made his Bollywood debut with ‘The Archies’ which was streamed on Netflix.
