Navya Naveli Nanda, the grand daughter of Amitabh Bachchan has grown to be a very independent, confident young girl. The daughter of Shweta Nanda, is active on all social media platforms and public forums. At a very young age, Navya is an entrepreneur, a mental health advocate too. She has grown up in a house where everyone is free to talk anything.
Recently, she was stated saying that she felt absolutely comfortable to even discuss about menstruation on a public forum where her grand father is also present. A report on hindustantimes.com talked about it and we take reference from that story for our write up here.
Navya Naveli Nanda, and actors Amitabh Bachchan, Dia Mirza, and Rashmika Mandanna, recently attended a telethon about health where experts also discussed women’s health and how can it be elevated. After Rashmika said that adolescents feel uncomfortable discussing taboo topics with their parents, Amitabh Bachchan agreed with her and also noted that he considers menstruation ‘a sign of recreation.’
At the NDTV event, Navya also agreed with her grandfather, and said, “Like he mentioned, it’s a sign of life. That’s not something that we should be ashamed of, or shy away from. Menstruation has been a taboo for a long time, but there has been progress. I’m sitting on stage today with my grandfather and talking about periods, and that itself is a sign of progress. The fact that we are sitting on a platform today with many people watching us and having an open conversation about menstruation itself shows that we have progressed, not just as women but as a country.”
Well, such rational and clear thoughts at this age, is marvellous!!
