“When men fail, society gives them a hard time”, says Jaya Bachchan on What The Hell Navya Vodcast

The recent episode of Navya Naveli Nanda’s vodcast, “What the Hell Navya,” features a thought-provoking conversation with the trio. They delve into the crucial topic on how the societal views of failure differ between men and women.

The episode opens with Navya posing a central question, does society judge the failures of men and women equally? The trio delves into a conversation about how society measures failure differently for men and women. Jaya Bachchan comments, ‘ When men fail, society gives them a hard time’. Shweta Bachchan agrees with her mother stating the patriarchal society that we live in has created an imaginary benchmark for men and if they aren’t able to live up to it, they are treated as failures.

Shweta further observes that men might internalize failure more intensely than women. The societal pressure to maintain a facade of strength can prevent them from openly discussing their struggles. Shweta argues, can have severe consequences, potentially leading to mental health issues like depression and anxiety.

The episode underscores the importance of promoting open communication and emotional well-being for all genders. Catch the trio in the recent episode discussing the current generation, Jaya Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan Nanda and Navya Naveli Nanda.
