Veteran Bollywood actor Jaya Bachchan was on the podcast of her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda and spilled beans on various topics including her marriage to Amitabh Bachchan and a lot more. However, one thing in particular that became the eye-catcher was the Guddi actor’s statement that she simply won’t mind if Navya has a child outside of wedlock and that she is open to young people experimenting with the physical aspect of their relationship so that they can take the right decision.
While live-in relationships and having children without marriage are now being accepted in high-class society today, earlier as well there were bold actresses who got pregnant without tying the knot.
