Jaya Bachchan says she has no problem if Navya Nanda has 'child without marriage'

According to seasoned actress Jaya Bachchan, "physical attraction" is crucial for a relationship to stand the test of time. A relationship cannot survive on just "love, fresh air, and adjustment," and a physical element is equally crucial.

On her granddaughter Navya Nanda's podcast 'What The Hell Navya,' she talked about how they couldn't experiment in their time.

The senior Bachchan said people would be offended that this comes from her, but compatibility and physical appeal are equally necessary.


She also opened up about how it's unfortunate that younger generations would feel awful going through that experience, which is wrong. In their time, they could never, but the younger generation after her, like Shweta Nanda's or Navya's generation, is a different story. While that is OK, one acts covertly. You can still be cordial if you were physically intimate once and feel it wouldn't have worked out.

Bachchan feels you could marry your best friend since today's romanticism lacks emotion. Talk to your close friend and tell them that you two should get married not because society says so but because you like them. Jaya then said that she also has no issue with Navya having a child without marriage.
