Navya Naveli Nanda's mother Shweta Bachchan may come from a family of Bollywood stars but she says she would be worried if her daughter Navya Naveli plans to be an actor.

'I will be worried if she plans to be an actor. I don't think it is as easy as it looks. You have to work extremely hard, especially if you are a woman. And I wonder if she has in her to bear with all of it. Also, there is a lot of failure involved, which many people don't see. The failure is personal, your acting skills... the way you look on screen is slashed out in open,' Shweta Bachchan had said in an interview with mid-day.

Navya Naveli has been under the spotlight for quite some time now. According to Shweta, the right way to become an actor is to 'want and rightly prepare' for it like her mother, not 'stumble' into it like her father.

'My mother was the eldest daughter in the family. She graduated and told her father about her ambition of becoming an actor. Soon she joined acting school, and was a great student. I feel this is the way to go about it. Not because you see this as an easy way out. Instant fame and money in this industry is a myth,' said Shweta Bachchan.

Shweta Bachchan likes to maintain a low profile and is extremely protective about her daughter Navya despite the constant spotlight. In 2016, Shweta had written an open letter asking the media to give her daughter her 'private life' back.

'My children are no celebrities. Why smash them on internet for one reason or the other? Let them earn their attention on their own. It shouldn't be just because they are related to somebody,' Shweta Bachchan had written in the letter.

To prevent news flashes about Navya from reaching her, the Bachchans do not have any Google alert for her. 'We have no Google alert for her, because it would be very upsetting for her to read these things. I didn't do anything for two years, thinking that it would only draw more attention towards it,' Shweta Bachchan said.

Shweta Bachchan said the decision to keep her daughter Navya away from the attention is not driven by any gender bias as she would be equally protective of her son Agastya.

Calling her family a 'home of women' who are strong-headed and independent, Shweta Bachchan said that everyone was free to pursue their own dreams and hopes Navya does the same.

Shweta Bachchan added, 'My home is a home of women. Be it my grand-mother, mother, sister-in-law and me, we all are strong opinionated women. I am sure she will carry it forward.'

Shweta Bachchan in her open letter (2016) to media had written, 'Navya is a teenager, and as most young teens are wont to do, she likes to dress up, hang out with her friends, pose for pictures and yes, go out to parties (she has a deadline and is always home well before it is over). If she finds herself on a beach, she will wear beach-appropriate attire , namely, a swimsuit , as would any young girl anywhere.'

'My daughter Navya likes reading, the Kardashians, rajma chawal, curling up next to her Naani while watching TV, teasing her brother and counselling her friends when their hearts are broken. Do the adults who run these sites even know how invasive and inappropriate what they are doing, is? And would they like it if this happened to their children?,' Shweta questioned media.

When Navya Naveli Nanda impressed her grandfather Amitabh Bachchan with her musical talent! Big B said that he was impressed to see the youngster play the piano with such finesse. 'Look what took its place the entire day... The life to witness the gift of a grand daughter, of her accomplishments, of her talents... That is more than what many wish and possess. And yes the inner joy of admiration for Navya as she surprises us all with her hidden talent... The music and the keys of the piano, untrained, unread. Just performing with the mind and what has remained with her somewhere, astonishing,' Bachchan posted on his blog.

In her first ever interview, Navya said that she and her mom Shweta Bachchan Nanda are 'best friends'.

It comes as no surprise then that Navya's decision to keep the film industry at an arm's length has something to do with Shweta's advice.

'I really try to tell Navya about all the cons [of being a part of the film industry]. I have nothing against the industry, it's who we are. But, it's not an easy world to be in,' Shweta Bachchan Nanda said while speaking about her daughter Navya in an interview earlier.

Navya Naveli Nanda said that there's 'no way' she will make a career in acting.

Navya Naveli Nanda made a glamorous debut at Le Bal des Deacute,butantes in Paris in November 2015. She was just 18 then.

A young Navya had then said in the interview, talking about her prep for the event, 'I'm going to be taking dance lessons so that my dancing is up to the mark... I'll also walk around in heels in my bedroom to make sure that I don't fall over.'

While Shweta Bachchan Nanda doesn't believe Navya takes after either of her parents, the young girl appears to mirror certain qualities of her mother -- she is confident, self-aware and polite.

Navya has also inherited a love for reading, and wants everything from her mother's closet, including her shoes.

Navya Naveli Nanda is a social media sensation. Though her Instagram account is still private, she has ample of fan clubs on the social media platform.

'I've been lucky to be quite away from it all,' Navya Naveli Nanda said, adding that it's only when her mother calls her seeking answers, that she's aware of how public her private life is.

Such is the bond between the Bachchan women that even grandmother Jaya Bachchan, known to be the family disciplinarian, is more light-hearted around Navya.
