Jaya Bachchan says she has ‘no problem’ if granddaughter Navya Nanda has a kid before marriage

Jaya Bachchan time and again proves how intellectual she is, and her thinking is quite modern and aligning with time. Currently, she features on her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda’s podcast and there she gave yet another statement that reflects her liberated thought process. In the latest episode of the podcast, the subject of discussion was ‘Modern Love: Romance & Regrets’, and there, Jaya ji insisted on the need of physical intimacy in a relationship.

Sharing her thoughts on the issue, Jaya Bachchan said, “People will find it objectionable coming from me but physical attraction and compatibility are also very important. Our times we couldn’t experiment but today the generation does and why shouldn’t they? Because that also is responsible for a long-lasting relationship. If there isn’t a physical relationship it’s not going to last very long. You can’t be lasting on love and fresh air and adjustment, I feel. It’s very very important.”

The veteran actress insisted that while the society would try to make the younger generation feel guilty about exploring their physical being, they shouldn’t succumb to it. She asserted, “Sometimes it’s a pity but a lot of the younger lot, of course, we never could, we couldn’t even think about it but the younger generation even after me, Shweta’s generation, Navya’s is a different ballgame, but they would feel guilty going through that experience and I think it’s very wrong. It’s okay and then you do things on the sly. If you had a physical relationship and you feel that still, my relationship otherwise not worked out you can be nice about it.”

Jaya ji also clarified that she is just being practical and she would apply the same approach in her family as well if Navya decides to have a baby before marriage. She said, “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.”
