Navya Nanda Says Jaya Bachchan 'Has Become Everyone's Nani' After Her Podcast: 'It's Cute That She...'

Navya Naveli Nanda returned with the highly anticipated second season of her engaging podcast, What The Hell Navya. Joined by her mother, Shweta Bachchan, and grandmother, Jaya Bachchan, each episode delved into their distinct generational perspectives on love, life, and contemporary women’s issues. The trio shared candid stories from their lives, sparking lively and bold conversations that resonated with audiences. Now, Navya has said that the “real star” of the podcast is Jaya Bachchan.

“Nani is the real star of the podcast…It is cute that she has become everyone’s ‘nani’ because people in the comments section are calling her ‘nani’,” Navya told NDTV. In the second season of the podcast, Navya invited her brother Agastya Nanda for an episode. “Having Agastya was a lot of fun. It was one of the most loved episodes of this season. He added another layer of fun to the entire conversation while keeping it real. Just like in real life, he ensured he highlighted how nani, Mom and I are similar to each other,” said Navya.

The inclusion of Agastya in the podcast, which usually features Shweta and Jaya Bachchan, has left room for more possibilities in future episodes. Fans are now demanding that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is known for her strong opinions, should be part of this trendy podcast.

In a recent interview, Navya was asked if she would bring Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan or Amitabh Bachchan on the show. She told Zoom TV, “Hopefully, if we have a season 3, I’d love to invite guests, including those outside the family. I think it would be a lot of fun, and we could learn so much from them, hearing about their experiences, people from different fields.”

Following a successful first season, Navya Neveli Nanda returned for a second season of the podcast this February. Navya Nanda began her podcast journey in 2022 and all the episodes can be accessed on her official YouTube channel.
