Jaya Bachchan’s granddaughter, Navya Naveli Nanda hosts a podcast called, What The Hell Navya. During the first season of the podcast, Navya shared a heartfelt conversation with Jaya Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan about modern love, relationships and parenting. Jaya advised her granddaughter to marry her best friend and said she wouldn't have a problem if Navya got pregnant out of wedlock. In her words:

“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.”
