Shweta Bachchan initiates the conversation by expressing her belief that women do have a say, but it may not be entirely equal. However, Navya Naveli Nanda offers a different perspective, asserting that women, especially when it comes to decisions about the family and home, often hold a significant role. Jaya Bachchan, the seasoned actress, challenges this notion, emphasizing that traditional setups still necessitate women to seek approval, especially when it comes to budgetary matters.
Shweta counters this argument, highlighting the changing dynamics in modern households where women actively contribute to financial responsibilities. Despite this, Jaya Bachchan remains steadfast in her perspective, underlining the importance of altering societal mindsets to bring about real change. She suggests considering the viewpoints of women in more modest professions to gauge the extent of their decision-making power.
The debut episode of Season 2 also touches upon Jaya Bachchan's standing as a pop culture phenomenon. When asked about her feelings on the matter, she maintains a nonchalant stance, welcoming humor but expressing a desire for memes to be crafted more skillfully.
Additionally, Navya Naveli Nanda opens up about the persistent pressure she faces to pursue acting, given her illustrious family background. Despite societal expectations based on her looks, Navya, an entrepreneur, addresses the stereotype that beautiful women should only aspire to be actresses or models.
