Bollywood
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan's
granddaughter
Navya
Nanda
uses
her
social
media
handle
to
spread
awareness
on
several
issues
like
women
empowerment,
mental
health,
women's
hygiene.
Currently,
she
has
been
actively
helping
her
fans
and
followers
with
COVID-19
resources.
Navya
also
addressed
an
important
issue
of
how
the
pandemic
has
affected
working
women.
She
went
on
to
share
a
news
report
that
spoke
about
how
the
gender
gap
between
men
and
women
has
increased
during
the
pandemic.
Sharing
the
same,
Navya
wrote
that
the
pandemic
has
disproportionately
impacted
women
especially
working
Indian
women.
She
added
this
makes
gender
equality
a
very
distant
dream.
Take
a
look
at
the
post
shared
by
her.
Navya
recently
launched
Project
Naveli
which
is
an
initiative
dedicated
to
building
gender
equality
in
India.
Apart
from
that,
she
is
co-founder
of
Aara
Health
that
is
a
healthcare
company
focused
on
women.
During
her
conversation
with
a
news
portal
recently,
Navya
was
asked
why
she
felt
that
healthcare
ought
to
be
a
part
of
the
gender
inequality
debate,
on
this
she
gave
an
example
of
her
own
family
to
prove
her
point.
She
revealed,
"I
have
seen
that
happen
at
my
own
home
with
my
grandmother
and
my
mother.
They
are
the
sole
caregivers.
Because
of
that,
they
are
always
taking
care
of
the
family,
the
husband
and
the
children.
I
don't
think
their
own
health,
mental
or
physical
is
a
priority."
She
further
added,
"That
stems
from
the
gender
roles
we
force
as
a
society
and
that's
where
the
patriarchy
and
misogyny
come
in
where
men
have
always
been
the
head
of
the
family
and
breadwinners,
and
the
woman
the
caretaker.
That,
I
think,
has
caused
a
big
disparity
in
terms
of
how
women
even
look
at
health
and
prioritize
their
own
well-being."
Lastly,
Navya
had
added
that
she
thinks
before
even
understanding
access
to
healthcare,
it
is
important
to
understand
how
healthcare
is
viewed
by
women
in
general.
She
has
always
been
lauded
by
her
fans
for
using
social
media
as
a
platform
to
bring
out
such
constructive
issues
on
the
main
forefront.
Navya
has
also
associated
herself
with
some
NGOs
that
work
towards
women's
hygiene,
rights
and
mental
health.
