Shweta Bachchan recalls removing daughter Navya Naveli Nanda’s belly piercing, calls her ‘naive’ – Times of India

Shweta Bachchan Nanda, daughter of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, recently talked about not being ‘even handed’ while raising her two kids – daughter Navya Naveli Nanda and son Agastya Nanda. She said that she had to be tougher with Navya since the world is not easy for women.
In her new interview, Shweta recalled having a disagreement with Navya when she had opted for belly piercing. She revealed that she had reacted to it in a very strong way and had it removed. “The only time we had a really big disagreement about something she wanted to do, and I really vetoed it in a really strong way was the belly piercing… She had it done, and I just removed it,” she said.

When Shweta was asked if she has been harsh on Navya, she admitted to it and said that you have to be that much stronger, and much more vigilant and careful in a world that is tough for women. She also shared her thoughts about her kids and their different personalities.

“I would like to think that Agastya’s an old soul. Navya is a little naive, and I’m a little more non-trusting of certain friends and relationships. I would be a little careful about (things), and talk to her about… Of course, she has the liberty to live her life the way she wants,” she said.

Shweta further added that Navya is lot like her mother Jaya since she has a lot of conviction in what she does and believes in. She said that Navya is comfortable about coming on stage and being vocal about a lot of causes than someone like her. “I’m very shy, and not good at all this,” she added.

Last year, Navya launched her podcast What The Hell Navya while Agastya is all set to make his acting debut with Zoya Akhtar’s upcoming film The Archies.
