Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan's daughter Shweta Bachchan admits it is daunting to come from a family of overachievers: 'You have to be brilliant...'

Shweta Bachchan Nanda, daughter of actors Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, is an accomplished author and a prominent figure in Bollywood's social scene. Nonetheless, she admits that being a part of a family of high achievers comes with its own set of challenges.
In her daughter Navya Naveli Nanda's platform 'What The Hell Navya,' Shweta revealed that despite her celebrity parents never imposing any pressure on her, she felt the importance of achieving success, given her family's legacy.

When Navya Naveli inquired whether she has become comfortable with failure, Shweta Bachchan expressed her reluctance, highlighting the challenge of belonging to a family of high achievers. Despite her parents never explicitly pressuring her, she felt compelled to excel, considering the remarkable achievements of those around her.

In 2018, Shweta ventured into writing with her novel 'Paradise Towers.' Nevertheless, she didn't handle the negative reviews for the book well. Discussing her experience with failure, she mentioned writing a book that didn't achieve bestseller status. She admitted struggling to bounce back from negative reviews, taking them personally and doubting her abilities. This led to a prolonged period of self-doubt, causing her to halt her writing endeavors for a while.

During the podcast, Shweta expressed her vulnerability as a mother, admitting to questioning her parenting every time she found herself in a disagreement with her children, Navya Naveli or Agastya Nanda.
Shweta shared on the podcast that she often questions herself as a parent when arguments arise with her children or when they attribute certain behaviors to her. She finds it difficult to remain objective in such moments, taking their words and actions to heart.
