Jaya Bachchan Calls Daughter Shweta Her ‘Strength’, Says ‘She Is More Than My Son Abhishek’

Navya Naveli is back with her popular podcast ‘What The Hell Navya’ season 2 but this time it is in video format. In the show, we also see Jaya Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan talking about other topics. Well, in the recent episodes the veteran actress was seen calling her daughter “strength,” and emphasizing that she holds a special place in her heart, more than even her son, Abhishek Bachchan.

When the podcast was ending, Navya Naveli Nanda went on to ask her mother Shweta Bachchan why was she quiet and did not give so many opinions today. To this, Shweta replied that she was uneducated about most of the topics Navya chose to speak on. She also added that she did not want to open her mouth and sound like an idiot. Her daughter instantly sided with her and said that she is very smart and her opinion is very valued. Jaya Bachchan, who was quietly listening to her daughter and granddaughter’s conversation, extended her hand towards her daughter and said that Shweta is her strength. The veteran actress went on “She is, more than my son, she’s my strength. I don’t know whether that’s because she’s a woman. But she’s my strength.”
