Navya Nanda, during a recent interaction with NDTV's Arun Singh, opened up about her podcast What The Hell Navya and she also talked about her family. She also reacted to her grandmother Jaya Bachchan's recent comment on her podcast, where the veteran actress said, "I have no problem if you have a child without a marriage also, I really don't have a problem." Navya told NDTV that "the conversation was easy and we never felt out of our comfort zone." When asked if she expected the fuss that Jaya Bachchan's statement created in the media," Navy said, "I think the whole point of this podcast was to create a safe space for women and I think we were able to do that, I felt confident enough and comfortable enough to talk to them about anything like relationships, friendships."
Navya added during the interaction, "We have got an episode about where we talk about women health and hygiene, so, I think when you create the environment, which I personally feel is important for us as woman in India to be in a place you don't feel uncomfortable of these things so that podcast show was very comfortable. Conversation was easy and I stepped outside my comfort zone."
She added, "I think when you are putting yourself out there, whether it be podcast or work and all of us are on social media so everybody is watching you, I think that when you are putting yourself out there, you have to understand that something that you are sharing with the world, your opinions, people may agree, people may disagree, but I think that the purity and motivation behind this podcast have really nice fun intelligent conversations and I think we were able to do that. I am grateful for all the love and support that we have received for the episode, for the show so far and I think that's pretty much what we are looking for."
