Navya Naveli Nanda Opens Up About Discussing Periods With Grandpa Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan’s granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda has decided not to enter the film industry but this hasn’t stopped her from being in the limelight.

She shares a great bond with her grandfather and recently attended a telethon about health with him. At the event, she discussed menstruation in the presence of her grandfather, which is a sign of breaking taboo as women in our society are discouraged from talking about menstruation with men. In a world where menstruation is considered a taboo topic, Navya Naveli revealed that she grew up in a household where she felt comfortable having these conversations.

The event was also attended by Rashmika Mandanna who said that adolescents feel uncomfortable talking about menstruation with their parents. Big B agreed with her and said that he considers menstruation a ‘sign of recreation.'

Agreeing with her grandfather, Navya Naveli said that "As he mentioned, it's a sign of life. That's not something that we should be ashamed of, or shy away from. Menstruation has been a taboo for a long time, but there has been progress. I’m sitting on stage today with my grandfather and talking about periods, and that itself is a sign of progress. The fact that we are sitting on a platform today with many people watching us and having an open conversation about menstruation itself shows that we have progressed, not just as women but as a country."

"It’s great that not just the women, but the men have also joined in this mission of making menstruation a destigmatized conversation. More importantly, at home, because change always begins at home. Women should feel comfortable and safe about their own bodies in their own homes before going out in society and talking about that. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a home where I felt comfortable having these conversations," she added.
