Although jaya bachchan appears severe and unforgiving to others, she is as sweet as sweets to her pota, agastya Nanda, Navya, and Aaradhya Bachchan. Due to Navya's practice of inviting her mother Shweta Bachchan and grandmother Jaya on her podcast, What The Hell Navya, every Saturday, she has an emotional chat with them about contemporary love, relationships, and parenting.
In an episode of What The Hell Navya, jaya bachchan discussed contemporary love and demonstrated the necessity of adapting one's mindset to the changing times. She proposed giving Navya a live-in partner because she is rather accepting of them. Jaya claimed she wouldn't mind if Navya became pregnant outside of marriage and encouraged her granddaughter to wed her closest friend. According to her: “I'm looking at it very clinically. Since there's a lack of that emotion, the romance today, I think you should marry your best friend. You should have a good friend, you should discuss and say, ‘Maybe I'd like to have a child with you because I like you, I think you're nice, so let's get married because that's what society's saying'. I have no problem if you have a child without a marriage also, I really don't have a problem.”
