Not an acting career in the film industry but Amitabh Bachchan's granddaughter Navya Nanda is all set to join her father's family business. The granddaughter of the acting icon has said in a new profile that she is gearing up to join her father, Nikhil Nanda, in running the family business.
In an interview with a magazine, Navya stated that she would be the fourth generation of the family taking the lead and the first woman. Navya added that she feels proud that she will be carrying forward the legacy left behind by her great-grandfather HP Nanda. She said, "I would be the fourth generation of the family taking the lead—and the first woman. It is a great sense of pride for me to be carrying forward this incredible legacy left behind by my great-grandfather HP Nanda."
She continued, "Every day there are more and more women starting businesses, breaking records, showing up for one another and exuding independence. I am grateful to be living in a time when women are taking charge. The ball is definitely in our court, and I cannot wait to see all the amazing things we are going to achieve.”
Navya is the daughter of Shweta Bachchan Nanda, and the niece of actor Abhishek Bachchan. She graduated from Fordham University last year, with a major in digital technology and UX design. She co-founded Aara Health, a healthcare company that focuses on women, and recently launched Project Naveli, an organisation dedicated to building gender equality in India.
