Shweta Bachchan’s daughter Navya Naveli Nanda, Amitabh Bachchan’s granddaughter, has established herself in the entertainment business. Despite her lack of success in show business, Navya has a large following and two successful seasons of her popular podcast, What The Hell Navya? Navya has joined the family company, carrying on her father Nikhil Nanda’s legacy. The young person added another feather to her head when she was accepted into the esteemed MBA programme at IIM Ahmedabad.
Netizens question Navya Nanda’s admission to IIM Ahmedabad
Navya Nanda announced to the world on September 1, 2024, via an Instagram carousel, that she will be enrolled in the esteemed IIM Ahmedabad’s MBA program. While many congratulated her accomplishment, others expressed doubts about her character and concern that she was accepted into a tier-one university.
One person expressed concern about Navya’s acceptance to IIM by writing, “Just a strange inquiry. To be admitted to this program, did you write CAT?” As another online user wrote, “Happy Birthday! How did you get accepted into this IIM course? Obtaining admission to this institution is extremely challenging. Will you be living here at the hostel?” After several online users voiced their misgivings over Navya’s admission in the comment area, the businesswoman eventually responded.
Navya Nanda hits back at trolls in subtle but dignified manner
Although Navya Nanda is rarely seen responding to trolls, she expressed dissatisfaction this time around with the volume of enquiries she received following her acceptance to IIM. The famous child posted a photo of herself cutting a cake and celebrating her acceptance to the IIM on her Instagram stories. She acknowledged the mentor who helped her pass the entrance exam and insisted that her patience and hard work were the only reasons she was able to get into IIM.
Additionally, Navya was observed enjoying the remarks made by her supporters. One netizen said, “Wondering… Why do people assume that a celebrity can’t get in? Being born into a well-known family doesn’t exclude someone from excelling academically. Never should we judge someone until we have all the information. I hope the nation benefits greatly from her educational path.
Navya Naveli Nanda clarified she was always clear about not venturing into Bollywood
Similar to her brother Agastya Nanda, Navya was questioned about making her Bollywood debut in a prior interview with the Hindustan Times. She responded by sharply rejecting the notion, claiming that she has never aspired to be an actress and that her family is business-oriented. Her audience should respect and understand her for her individualism and for taking a clear and respectful stand on this issue. Says she:
“Well, I also come from a business family too. So, I was very clear that (I don’t want to join acting and do this). At the end of college, I realised that this is what I wanted to do.”
