Navya Naveli Nanda and Agastya Nanda
Indulging in a conversation with his mother Shweta Nanda, grandmother Jaya Bachchan, and sister Navya Naveli Nanda on her podcast show, The Archies actor Agastya tackled the subject of male toxicity. Talking about the manner in which a woman perceives a man's gestures, like opening a door or paying the bill on a date, Agastya said, "As long as you're doing it to be polite, and to not say, âI'm the man', you can't go wrong. If you're opening the door [without impressing on the fact that] âI'm the one opening the door', but are doing it to say, âI want to help you,' it's never going to come across the wrong way. If you say, âI'd love to pay for this meal', and not, âI'm the provider, so I'll pay', it's not going to come across the wrong way."
In an interaction with Mid-day, Karan Singh Grover reflected on his and his wife Bipasha Basu's decision to keep their daughter away from the limelight. "Some people want to show their babies, others don't. It's their choice. Plus, Bipasha says that we don't have Devi's permission to show her face in the media. I think, by the time we ask her for permission, I don't know what she's going to say, because she's so social. She always wants to greet everyone. We actually have to hold her face when the paparazzi come, and they are sweet enough to listen when we ask them not to click her," said the actor, who became a father in November 2022. Grover was last seen in the Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone-starrer, Fighter.
