The latest episode of Navya Naveli Nanda’s podcast, What The Hell Navya, just dropped and we saw Jaya Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan and Navya talk about friendships. During the episode, Shweta Bachchan said that parents cannot be friends with their children. However, Jaya and Navya disagreed. This exchange has now gone viral across social media.
Shweta Bachchan said, “I don’t understand this ‘parents are friends’ aspect that everyone is aspiring to these days. My children are my children and my friends are my friends. I will not talk to my children about certain things I talk to my friends about. I don’t know why everyone likes to say, ‘My daughter or son is my best friend.'”
Jaya Bachchan reacted to this and said, “It’s not like that, Shweta. But why can’t your children be your friends? After a certain age, your children can be your friends.” Shweta replied, “No, mama. There’s always that thing, you’re always a parent. You don’t have that… you know… I think if they gave me a piece of their mind, I may listen to it. I may be resentful to it because I’ll be like ‘You are my child. What do you know?'”
Navya jumped into the discussion and said, “For example, the two of you.” Shweta retorted, “We’re not friends.” Navya said, “But now you’re a parent and she’s a parent so you both can be friends because you both are parents.” Shweta said, “No, but we’re not friends. She’s my mother. There are certain lines I won’t cross with her. That’s the whole point of friends. It’s a break from family. It’s an alternate family.”
Navya said, “But family members can also be friends.” Jaya agreed, “Of course.” Shweta said, “I don’t agree with it.” Jaya added that Navya is her friend and remains honest with her. However, Shweta disagreed and said that they just spend a lot of time together and Navya cannot be completely honest with Jaya.
