Shweta Bachchan and Nikhil Nanda's daughter Navya Naveli Nanda graduated from New York's Fordham University on Wednesday but she couldn't get a graduation ceremony due to the coronavirus lockdown. However, Shweta Bachchan ensured that her daughter Navya doesn't miss out on the fun and she hosted a special DIY graduation ceremony for her. In her post, Shweta revealed that her Navya's robe was hand-stitched from scratch and her scholar's cap was made out of black chart paper. A proud Shweta Bachchan wrote: "Class of 2020 - Navya finished college today and since she and everyone else graduating this year won't get a ceremony we decided to DIY one. With a chart paper cap and a gown hand stitched from scraps of black tenting."
Shweta Bachchan Nanda added, "I threw on a Fordham (her college) sweatshirt over my PJ's! Congratulations baby I love you and am proud of you! Go forth and conquer." She signed off the post, saying, "I'm not crying you're crying."

The most important day in the life of a young student - graduation day. She graduated from college in New York, but ceremony and presence got cancelled because of Corona and lockdown. She could not go... w too had all planned to be with her on this important occasion.
