Bollywood legend Jaya Bachchan has dismissed the notion that her paparazzi presence might negatively impact her grandson Agastya Nanda’s nascent film career. In an interview, she stated, “No power on earth can change the destiny of my grandson. If Agastya is meant to be a star, nothing can stop him. His connection with the media will be his own, not related to me.”
Jaya Bachchan, a veteran actress and a prominent figure in Indian politics, has once again made headlines with her contentious comments. She claimed that her husband, Amitabh Bachchan, faced a 15-year media boycott during his rise to stardom, but it didn’t affect his career.
Agastya Nanda, the son of Shweta Bachchan and Nikhil Nanda, made his Bollywood debut in 2023 with Netflix’s film ‘The Archies.’ He later appeared in ‘Aks,’ a war film starring Dharmendra, which was his last acting project. The film failed to make a significant impact at the box office, earning around 33 crores.
Jaya Bachchan praised Agastya’s hard work and determination, saying that he is learning from his family and trying to establish his own identity, despite not being an actor himself. She drew parallels with her own husband’s career, stating that his success wasn’t hindered by her presence in the media.
