"I think I was excessive, unfair and only thought selfishly. It's one of the bonuses that come from belonging to a family involved in the movies and also seeing the second generation of our family, namely my brother (Abhishek Bachchan) and sister-in-law (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), in the business. I also know the heartbreaks and I know it really, really well. I see their faces when things don't work out. I am there on a human level. I see the hate my brother gets on Instagram and it gives me sleepless nights. And I don't want another member of my family to be in this business," Shweta said on KWK 6.

However, Shweta said that if Navya is passionate about acting in films, it's fine, otherwise, she shouldn't be part of the industry, to begin with.

"Also I don't know what Navya's talent is and unless she is completely driven, passionate and talented, she has no business being here. Just because she is related to some famous people, doesn't mean she has what it takes," Shweta added.

Navya Naveli Nanda is Shweta Bachchan's first child with husband, industrialist Nikhil Nanda. Shweta is veteran actor Amitabh's and Jaya Bachchan's daughter.
