Jaya and Navya have stayed away from the limelight as they are the only two members of the Bachchan family who are not in the film business. Navya’s brother Agastya is also going to debut in the movies with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies. Jaya Bachchan took a break from movies a few years ago. She was last seen in a cameo in 2016’s Ki & Ka. She is currently working on Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, in which she will star alongside Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi, Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh.
In an earlier chat with , Navya spoke about her privilege and how it has shaped her journey. “Given my background, and where I come from, I could never use the word ‘challenging’ to describe my journey. I have been given far more than I deserve, far more than I can live up to in this lifetime, and I am grateful for all of it. I was brought up being told that ‘privilege comes with responsibility’, and that is exactly what I am following. I want to be able to share the resources and opportunities I am lucky enough to have. I want to burst this bubble we all live in, and invite the world in, so that we can walk this path together, and share – that path will lead us to equality,” she said.
