Jaya Bachchan claims Agastya Nanda loves Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham because of her; the reason is not what you maybe thinking

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is one of Jaya Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan’s most iconic films together. The Karan Johar directorial also seems to be a household favourite among the Bachchans and the veteran actress spoke about it with daughter Shweta Bachchan and granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda during the podcast ‘What The Hell Navya?’

Jaya, while speaking of her all time favourite films, mentioned how she can watch Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham at any time and also revealed how her grandson Agastya Nanda watches the film to ‘make fun’ of her.

During the discussion in the podcast hosted by Navya Naveli Nanda, Jaya listed down Gone With the Wind, On the Waterfront, Paul Newman’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and all of Marlon Brando’s films as her favorites. The veteran actress also discussed her list of Indian favourites and said that she mostly loves old classics. "In Indian movies, I prefer the old ones, I prefer Dilip Kumar’s Devdas, Mughal-E-Azam. I can watch Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham anytime. I love mushy movies. I can watch Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black and all of Bimal Roy films. Godfather, I can watch Godfather all the time,” she added.

At the mention of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Jaya’s daughter Shweta chimed in to add how her son Agastya Nanda frequently watches the film despite not understanding most of his grandfather Amitabh Bachchan’s movies.

"It (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham) is a film that doesn’t age. Agastya watches it a lot. Sometimes, he does not understand when he watches nana's (Amitabh Bachchan) films but Karan Johar's directorial is something he can watch over and over again,” Shweta said.

Jaya shared her take on Agastya’s love for Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and mentioned, “He watches it to make fun of me.”

Agastya Nanda is all set to follow in his the footsteps of his grand parents and will be making his acting debut with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies where he plays the titular character. The Netflix project also marks the debut of Suhana Khan and Khushi Kapoor.
