Navya Nanda says mom asks her to look after guests, not her brother: ‘It’s always put on daughter of the house’

Actor Amitabh Bachchan’s granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda has spoken openly about how a family treats a daughter differently than a son. She talked about the fact that in her family, she was also supposed to take care of guests or do housework, not her brother.

Navya Naveli Nanda is the daughter of Amitabh’s daughter Shweta Bachchan and businessman Nikhil Nanda. She has a younger brother named Agastia Nanda.

While speaking with SheThePeople, Navya opened up about the situation at her home. “I’ve experienced it at home, when we have guests, my mom always says go get this or get that, and I have to play the host, not like my brother can do that,” she said.

“So I think, especially in a house where you live with a shared family, the responsibility of learning how to run the house, how to take care of guests or how to entertain guests always falls on the daughter. And I’ve never met my brother or Any little boy in the family is so valued. I think it’s our duty to convince women that it is our duty to take care of the family,” she added.

In the comments section of the video, filmmaker Zoya Akhtar posted an applause emoji in support of Navya. Others echoed Navya’s thoughts. “Like charity starts at home…proper parenting starts at home…you are building a future, be careful,” one wrote. “If I dare to get up after 7:30am on weekends, I will be scolding,” another commented.

Navya often speaks about gender issues on social media. She also runs Aara Health and Project Naveli, two organisations focussed on betterment of women. Previously, in a chat with Miss Malini, Navya spoke about how her mother and grandmother put their needs second to the family’s. “Women inherently prioritise the health and well being of their family over themselves. I have seen that happen at my own home with my grandmother and my mother. They are the sole caregivers. Because of that, they are always taking care of the family, the husband and the children. I don’t think their own health, mental or physical is a priority. That stems from the gender roles we force as a society and that’s where the patriarchy and misogyny comes in where men have always been the head of the family and breadwinners, and the woman the caretaker. That, I think, has caused a big disparity in terms of how women even look at health and prioritise their own well being,” she had said.

Khan, the most successful actor in Bollywood, made ₹25000 cr at the box office, surpassing the combined earnings of Shah Rukh, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan.

With a cumulative gross of ₹25000 crore at the box office, this ‘non superstar’ may just be the most successful Indian actor ever. But there is a small catch.
It is a testament to their domination of Hindi cinema that the three Khans have starred in most of the highest-grossing Bollywood films over the last three decades. One or the other of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan have led 90% of the biggest films in Hindi cinema during this period. So one would assume that Bollywood’s ‘most successful’ Khan would be either of these three. But that depends on what metric one chooses for success. If it is simply box office collections globally, then a fourth name – a rather surprising one at that – beats these three superstars.

Bollywood’s most successful Khan

As lead stars, there is no denying Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan’s box office pull. In their career, they are the top draw at the ticket window. Shah Rukh’s films have collectively earned just under ₹9000 crore at the box office worldwide, while Salman ( ₹7000 crore) and Aamir ( ₹6500 crore) follow closely behind. Together, their films (including overlaps like Karan Arjun and Andaz Apna Apna) have earned ₹22,000 crore. But the figure is less than what the films featuring the late Irrfan Khan have earned. Courtesy of his stellar Hollywood career that allowed him to star in many big blockbusters, Irrfan was able to leap past his more popular Bollywood colleagues. In a career that spanned over 25 years, Irrfan’s Indian films earned just over ₹2000 crore. But the bulk of his box office earnings came from his Hollywood releases, which have a combined gross of over $2.5 billion ( ₹22,500 crore).

However, one might argue that the OG Khans still win this as most of their films had them in the lead, while Irrfan was largely playing the supporting role to bigger stars like Chris Pratt (Jurassic World), Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man), and Tom Hanks (Inferno).

Irrfan Khan’s stellar Hollywood career

Irrfan made a name for himself in Hindi cinema in the early 2000s with critically acclaimed performances in Haasil, Maqbool, Life in a Metro, and Paan Singh Tomar. His breakthrough in the West came with a supporting role in Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire. This led to small but significant roles in Hollywood blockbusters such as The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), Life of Pi (2012), Jurassic World (2015), and Inferno (2016). His last English language film, Puzzle, starred him in the lead role alongside Kelly Macdonald. Irrfan was diagnosed with cancer in 2018, to which he succumbed in 2020. He was 53.
