‘Dreams do come true’

In 2021, she founded Project Naveli to combat gender inequality in India and also hosts the podcast “What The Hell Navya,” which has featured her mother Shweta Bachchan and grandmother Jaya Bachchan. They discussed various topics revolving around feminism and the role of women in society in her podcast.
Navya not into acting
According to a report by the Hindustan Times, Shweta clarified that Navya is not interested in following her grandparents Amitabh Bacchan and his wife Jaya bacchan, uncle Abhishek Bachchan, aunt Aishwarya Rai Bachchan or brother Agastya Nanda’s footsteps.
At the event in June, when Shweta was asked if Navya will also act, she replied, “I think you are very well acquainted with the work Navya does and she has her hands full. I don’t think Bollywood is the way to go for her.” She was there on behalf of her daughter to accept an award for the podcast.
