Amitabh Bachchan’s granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda celebrated her Graduation Day at his Mumbai home, Jalsa. She could not fly back to her college in New York for her graduation ceremony so they made the ceremony at home. Big B shared pictures and videos of Navya in her robe and graduation cap, posing for the camera.
“Grand daughter Navya .. the most important day in the life of a young student - Graduation Day .. ! She graduated from College in New York, but ceremony and presence got cancelled because of Corona and lockdown .. she could not go .. we too had all planned to be with her on this important occasion .. BUT .. she though wanted to wear that Graduation gown and Cap .. so staff stitched her an impromptu gown and cap .. and she wore it and celebrated at home in Jalsa .. So proud of you NAVYA .. god bless .. such a positive and happy attitude .. LOVE YOU,” he wrote.
“Class of 2020 - Navya finished college today and since she and everyone else graduating this year won’t get a ceremony we decided to DIY one. With a chart paper cap and a gown hand stitched from scraps of black tenting. I threw on a Fordham ( her college ) sweatshirt over my PJ’s!! Congratulations baby I love you and am proud of you! Go forth and conquer x ( I’m not crying you’re crying),” wrote Shweta Bachchan and shared a bunch of photos with Navya.
