Agastya Nanda talks about growing up in the Bachchan parivar

In this podcast where the three ladies usually take the lead, Agastya's participation is expected to bring a lively and dynamic element to their conversations, adding a fresh perspective to the trio.

A teaser for the upcoming episode reveals that Agastya Nanda will delve into the idea of embracing both masculine and feminine aspects within oneself. This upcoming episode promises to be an interesting and engaging discussion as the family members share their thoughts and experiences on this topic.

His perspective leaves his mother Shweta surprised, which prompts her to say, "Agastya, I didn't realize you were so wise."

Talking about his upbringing within the Nanda and Bachchan family, Agastya shares, "I have grown up surrounded by very strong, opinionated women... And you all are a watered-down version of each other. Nani (Jaya Bachchan) is at the top (points upwards), then mom, and then you (Navya). But I understand that you all share the same essence."

About What The Hell Navya's first episode

Navya Nanda's podcast-turned-vodcast, 'What The Hell Navya,' is back for round two, now with a visual treat. Kicking off with a bang, the first episode, 'Women at Work,' brings together Navya, her powerhouse grandmother Jaya Bachchan, and her mom Shweta Bachchan-Nanda for some casual chit-chat on life for working women.

At the beginning of the episode, Navya explained the concept of a side hustle to Jaya. "It's something that you do after your 9 to 5 job," she said. Adding to it, Shweta acknowledged Navya's internet popularity and said, "You are a YouTube sensation, you are an internet sensation, you are a meme generator…these are legit jobs these days, mama." Jaya responded wittily, saying, "I provide meals to people who make my memes."

Navya then brought up the term Jaya-ing that the netizens have created. The term means to express oneself without caring about opinions. They also discussed the viral meme culture around actress Jaya Bachchan. Talking to Jaya and Shweta, Navya said, "There is a term which has been coined after your meme, which is called 'Jaya-ing'." Shweta added, "When you are extra salty it's Jaya-ing?" Jaya reacted saying, "It's not in a very complimentary way, but it's ok."
