Jaya Bachchan addresses granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda's concerns about her ability to handle difficult situations

In the latest episode of What The Hell Navya the trio of Navya Naveli Nanda, Shweta Bachchan Nanda, and Jaya Bachchan discussed about making mistakes and what they learnt from those mistakes. The conversation revolved around Navya's experiences in advocating for women's rights.

Navya openly discussed her experiences with concerns about her ability to handle difficult situations due to her age.

However, Jaya Bachchan wisely corrected her, pointing out that knowledge and experience are not the same thing.

She encouraged Navya to trust her instincts and continue doing her work. She stated, “Is tarah ke soch ko apne andar lana aur iss tarah ke soch ke upar kaam karna uske liye experience ki zaroorat nahi hai. Voh dil aur dimag ki baat hoti hai. Aur jo aap jo keh rahe hai aur jo aapko keh rahe hai unse kaho Keep Quiet! ye sab baatein aap sunke ansuna kar dijiye. Jo aap kar rahi hai bahot acha kar rahi hai aur usko aap karte rahiye aur zor se kariye. (Bringing such thinking into oneself and working on such thinking does not require experience. It's a matter of heart and mind. And what you're saying and what you're being told, tell them to Keep Quiet! Ignore all these things you hear. What you are doing is very good, keep doing it and do it with strength)”

Navya found comfort in Jaya Bachchan’s support, as Jaya gave a reminder to Navya that while criticism is unavoidable, one should never stop pursuing their goals. She said, “Kuch toh log kahenge logo ka kaam hai kehna. (Some people will always have something to say; it's people's job to speak)”
