The recent episode of KBC featured the star cast of Vanvaas — Nana Patekar, Utkarsh Sharma, Simrat Kaur, and writer-director Anil Sharma. Wherein Nana revealed that when they were shooting for Kohram, Amitabh Bachchan came onto the sets one day and started distributing sweets to all the cast and crew members. When Nana asked him the occasion, Amitabh Bachchan proudly declared that his daughter, Shweta, delivered a baby girl and he is now a 'Nana'.
“We were shooting for the movie Kohram (1999), and one day, Amit ji came and was distributing sweets to everyone. I asked him, 'What’s the occasion?' and he said, 'My daughter just had a baby, main Nana ban gaya hu!'"
After congratulating Amitabh Bachchan, Nana Patekar cracked a joke stating that it took Amitabh Bachchan so many years to come 'nana'. When Nana Pateka has been a 'nana' since birth. In Nana's words:
“Kitne saal lag gaye, main toh janam se Nana hu."
Amitabh Bachchan, in yet another episode of KBC, shared that his granddaughter, Navya Naveli, is independent and earns her own money. Amitabh Bachchan also added that his granddaughter, Navya, also works for women's welfare, and she recently set up an NGO with her own funds. He said:
"My granddaughter ( Navya Naveli) does this individually from her own earnings. She isn't working for the Government but has been taking up these initiatives on her own. Recently, she set up an NGO with her own funds, the organization makes homes for women and gives all the facilities and everything that the women need."
Amitabh Bachchan's granddaughter, Navya Naveli Nanda is a Fordham University graduate.
