During one segment, Navya posed a question to Jaya Bachchan about relationship red flags. Jaya responded unequivocally, highlighting bad manners as a significant concern. She articulated her discomfort with the casual use of informal language like ‘tu’ or ‘tum’ in conversations, regardless of the relationship dynamics.

Jaya Bachchan elaborated, stressing the importance of conscious effort in communication, particularly in younger generations where informal language norms prevail. She said, “Ek cheez jo mujhe bahut buri lagti hai, jo log tu, tum karke baat karte hai. Chahe kisi se bhi ho. [One thing that really upsets me is when people use 'tu' or 'tum' while talking. No matter who it is.]” Then she asked Navya, “Aapne kabhi mujhe nana [Amitabh Bachchan] se tum karke baat karte hue suna hai? [Have you ever heard me calling nana [Amitabh Bachchan] 'tum [you]'?]”.

She further added, “Mujhe lagta hai yeh sab cheezo ke liye consciously effort karna chahiye, jo aapke generation ke log nahi karte. Aap se tum, tum se tu, tu ke baad finished. Toh relationship bhi aisa hi hota hai na? Jab tak aap kisi ki izaat ni karenge, pyaar nahi rahega. [I think you guys need to make a conscious effort for these things, which your generation doesn't do. From 'aap' to 'tum', 'tum' to 'tu', and then it's done. Isn't that how relationships work too? If you don't respect someone, love won't last.]“

Meanwhile, in her professional endeavours, Jaya Bachchan was last seen in Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, starring alongside Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi.

What The Hell Navya Season 2 started streaming weekly on YouTube from February 1, 2024. The first episode set the tone for a season filled with unfiltered conversations, light-hearted banter, and thought-provoking moments.
