Navya further said focusing on her business mind, “This may not be true for many people in India, but I never wanted to act”. Let us tell you that Nanda recently faced criticism regarding her IIM admission, where people questioned her achievements and qualifications and trolled her considering her admission to the prestigious institute is because of her grandfather’s connection and not because of her capabilities.

Further in the interview, Navya also talked about protecting herself from social media trolling and said that she does not care about it at all. Navya says that social media has given voice to many people and it is a great place to bring your work to the fore. While calling herself lucky to be a part of IIM, Navya said, “I have chosen the active option of putting my work and myself out there. I do not feel bad about anything people say. My truth is different from many women in the country. I do not pay much attention to what negative things people say about me.”
