Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani star Jaya Bachchan says women are ‘stupid’ not to let men pay on dates: 'They're saying don't be chivalrous'

Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan’s granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda continues to win millions of hearts with her vodcast What The Hell Navya 2. In the fourth episode of vodcast, we saw Navya along with brother Agastya, mom Shweta and grandmother Jaya discussing the topic of ‘macho myths and modern men’.

While Navya discussed about independent women and how they also want to pay for food on dates, Jaya called it a ‘stupid’ move by them.

While discussing, Navya said, “For example, today, if you take a girl out on a date and you offer to pay, some people get offended by that. Because women now feel they’re equally…” But before she could complete the sentence, Jaya intervened and said, “How stupid of those women. You should let the men pay.”

Junior Nanda continued, “No, but I’m saying these are things that happen. That ‘Oh we can open the door for ourselves. You don’t need to open it for us.’ So, where do you draw that line? Are you opening doors for people? Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve been chivalrous but a woman has said, I can do that myself?” K3G star chipped in again and said, “Basically what they’re trying to say is – don’t be chivalrous. How stupid is that?”

_The Archies_ actor Agastya shared his opinion on the topic and said,  “As long as you’re doing it to be polite, and not show ‘I’m the man,’ you can’t go wrong. If you’re opening the door not to be like, ‘i’m the one opening the door’ instead you’re doing it because ‘I want to help you,’ it’s never gonna come across the wrong way.”

He added, “If you want to say, I’d love to pay for this meal, it’s not going to come across, the wrong way because you’re doing it to do something kind. Not like ‘I’m the provider, so I’ll pay.’ It’s the intent.”
