Daughter of popular Bollywood actors Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan Nanda might not be an actor but is quite famous for her columns and other works. Being the daughter of these big superstars and the sister of actor Abhishek Bachchan, Shweta often grabs the limelight whenever she makes any public appearance. Recently, Shweta joined her daughter Navya Naveli Nanda’s podcast along with her mother Jaya Bachchan, and the star kid had some interesting insights from her childhood to share with her fans.
Shweta Bachchan recently joined her daughter Navya Naveli and mother Jaya Bachchan on What The Hell Navya. During the show, Shweta talked about her childhood and also revealed that she used to get a lot of thrashing from her mother Jaya and how once a ruler broke on her
Talking about how particular Jaya was about extra-curricular activities, Shweta was quoted saying, “She was very particular about extra-curricular. I had to do Bharatnatyam, Hindi classical music, swimming, sitar, and piano.” She further added, “But she was very free with her slaps, I got slapped a lot. The ruler got broken on me once. She used to beat me a lot.”
Speaking of how much of thrashing Abhishek got, Shweta said, “Abhishek hardly got slapped. I believe always the first child gets thrashed. I got thrashed a lot as a child. My sisters didn’t.”
Shweta also talked about how her father Amitabh Bachchan scolded them during childhood and continued, “The maximum punishment he gave was to stand in the corner. I liked that punishment as I used to make stories, and talk to myself there in the corner.”
After listening to her mother’s side, when Navya asked Jaya Bachchan about what Shweta did to get a beating from her, the Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani actress said, “She was very annoying and stubborn. Honestly, I realised parents hit children when they are angry with themselves because they are incapable of handling a situation. So, the only reaction is…The frustration gets out like this.”
Meanwhile, speaking about the show What The Hell Navya, it is a feel-good show which aims to create a safe space for women across all age groups with hosts representing three generations and bringing in different perspectives.
