What The Hell Navya S2E2: Jaya, Shweta & Navya Unpack Modern Love; from apps to societal pressures

Love in the digital age is a far cry from the days of handwritten letters and awkward first dates. And who better to dissect its impact than the dynamic Bachchan trio – Jaya, Shweta, and Navya Nanda – in the second episode of their vodcast “What The Hell Navya”

While the ever-graceful Jaya Bachchan takes a step back, declaring, “Mein uss baare mein sochti hi nahi hun voh mere dayre mein hi nahi hai.” (I don’t even think about it, it’s not part of my world) her reluctance to engage with the topic underscores the generational gap in attitudes towards modern technology and its role in romantic pursuits.

Shweta and Navya dive headfirst into the app-driven dating scene. Shweta raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of dating apps, questioning, “These apps that you’re talking about, how are they any different from being set up by friends or parents?” This sparks a crucial conversation about the changing face of relationships.

Shweta takes the conversation further, suggesting, “It’s a very lonely generation. So you guys are so lonely that apps are always going to be there and that’s always going to be a part of your life.” Her observation sheds light on the societal shifts that have normalised the use of dating apps as a means of companionship.

The trio also explores how the meaning of love has evolved over the years, the prevalence of toxicity in relationships, and the pressures of societal expectations. While their perspectives differ, the conversation navigates through various other facets of modern romance. Whether you meet your soulmate through an app, a chance encounter, or a family introduction, the journey of love remains unique and personal.
