Behind the glitzy and glamorous life of Bollywood’s most powerful family lies a story of values warmth and old-school respect. One such example of this is the Bachchan family whose legacy stands tall and is built on love mutual respect and understanding. Recently Navya Naveli Nanda recently opened up about the close-knit Bachchan family dynamics their values and the lessons she has imbibed growing up with her grandparents Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. Speaking about the Bachchan clan Navya revealed how respect and open communication lie at the heart of their household. Navya on growing up with her grandparents Navya said “I have spent so much time with my grandparents growing up and still do we still live together which is an unusual thing for young people. We don’t fight; we have healthy debates on a lot of things. It’s a conversation around things that are relevant today and that matter.” She added “For anyone who has seen a podcast they will know that every episode is a disagreement or a discussion. Surprisingly there isn’t a clash even though we are very different personalities; we actually have similar values more than anything that defines who I am. It’s the values that I was brought up with and they are a very specific set of values that both sides of my family have instilled in us.” Respect at the Core of Every Conversation Navya further explained that mutual respect in the Bachchan household lies at the heart of their interaction “The first thing that we have grown up around is a lot of respect and family. I think respect is something that is at the heart of who we are as people whether it’s my grandparents or the youngest member in my family my cousin or my brother. We have a lot of respect not just for each other or for people but also for what we do and where we come from” she said. Learning from Parents and Grandparents Appreciating her parents Navya further expressed gratitude: “Now that I am a lot older I look back and realise that both my parents spent a lot of time shaping who I am today. And only now I am realising that it is a very selfless and thankless job. We don’t say thank you enough to our parents and to the people who raise us and that to me is empowerment.” She further acknowledged her mother Shweta Bachchan’s contribution as a homemaker. “It’s not about whether you are a CEO or a homemaker. It’s about having enough respect for the choice to be whatever you want to be. No one is ‘just’ a homemaker and I have learned this through the work I have done. Mothers and homemakers don’t get enough credit for what they do. A lot of credit is given to a CEO running a multibillion-dollar company juggling different departments. A homemaker is responsible for building the next generation of leaders and is juggling a lot. That is a very important role that we don’t give enough credit to.” Family Bond Built on Respect Speaking about her cousin Aaradhya Bachchan brother Agastya Nanda and uncle-aunt Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Navya shared “The same dynamic exists in our home too; we discuss debate and even disagree but mutual respect remains at the core of every conversation.
