Navya Naveli Nanda recently spoke about how she deals with trolling on her Instagram account. In a recent interview, Amitabh Bachchan's granddaughter revealed that she usually ignores rude comments but there was one occasion where she had to react.
"Sometimes, the most obvious answer to that is that you shouldn't respond, just ignore it. That is probably what I follow most of the time, but there have been times where I have responded and it's only when it really hits a nerve. I remember there was one specific comment that I got really upset about. I had given an interview about how my mom inspired me a lot because she is a working woman. Somebody commented, 'but what does she do?' My response to that was that she is a mother and that's a full time job itself".Navya Naveli Nanda in conversation with Her Circle
Navya added, “I comment only when I read things that are fundamentally so wrong and I disagree with. Because I think that being a mom is probably the hardest job that anyone can have and we don't appreciate it enough, don't give them the credit they deserve. We believe that just because they are not running an empire or a billion dollar company that their work is not important. But they are responsible for raising a generation of people who will hopefully not look down on them.”
Watch the entire interview with Her Circle:
Navya was talking about a post from earlier this year wherein she brought up what it’s like growing up among working women. When a user asked what Shweta does for a living, Navya replied, "She's an author, writer, designer, wife, and mother."
Navya also posted the comment on her Instagram story and wrote, "Being a mother and a wife is a full-time job. Please don't discredit women who are homemakers. Their role is so crucial in the upbringing of a generation that will hopefully support their contribution instead of tearing it down."
