Jaya Bachchan Blames Internet For "Anxiety Attacks" Among Gen-Z, Shweta Bachchan Disagrees
Jaya Bachchan recently sparked a debate on social media when she attributed anxiety attacks among Gen-Z to the internet. In a resurfaced episode of her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda's podcast, What The Hell Navya, the veteran actress shared her concerns about Gen Z's mental health. She claimed that excessive internet use and the need for online validation are key contributors to rising anxiety levels among young people. Jaya Bachchan And Daughter Shweta Clash Over Internet's Role In Anxiety Jaya Bachchan said, 'Navya, what happens among your generation is that 'answer to the calls quickly, reply to texts quickly'. You get your validation from what you see on the internet and your phone. Are we looking nice? Are we thinking correctly? If you are saying the right thing? All this increases your stress levels." When Navya asked whether the new generation is more stressed because of the internet, Jaya replied, 'Definitely." She added, 'We hadn't heard of an anxiety attack when we were kids. Let alone our childhood, we never heard it in our midlife also."

She stated that it is a long-standing issue that's now more openly discussed and recognised. "Anxiety was always there. It's now more identifiable. It's more spoken about, it's just more vocal," Shweta said. What Is An Anxiety Attack? An anxiety attack is a sudden episode of intense fear or discomfort, often accompanied by physical symptoms, according to Mayo Clinic. While sometimes used interchangeably with panic attacks, anxiety attacks can also be a gradual buildup of anxiety related to specific stressors. Key symptoms include a racing heart, breathing difficulty, sweating, trembling, and a sense of impending doom or loss of control. While anxiety attacks can be frightening, they are not physically harmful. If you are experiencing symptoms of an anxiety attack, it is important to seek professional guidance for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Jaya Bachchan once BLAMED the internet for 'anxiety attacks'; Shweta Bachchan argued, saying 'It was always there'
Jaya Bachchan is a celebrated Indian actress and politician, known for her powerful performances in films like 'Guddi', 'Abhimaan' and 'Mili'. She has never shied away from speaking her mind, often making headlines for her blunt views on social issues, media and the changing times. 'Validation comes from your phone' In a past episode of her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda's podcast 'What The Hell Navya', the 'Zanjeer' actess opened up about her concerns around how today's younger generation is becoming increasingly dependent on digital validation. 'Navya, what happens among your generation is that 'answer to the calls quickly, reply to texts quickly'. You get your validation from what you see on the internet and your phone," she said. The 'Silsila' actress added that this constant checking makes stress levels shoot up. 'Are we looking nice? Are we thinking correctly? If you are saying the right thing? All this increases your stress levels," she added. 'We hadn't heard of an anxiety attack' When Navya asked if the internet had made her generation more stressed, the 'Sholay' actress didn't hold back. 'Definitely," she replied. Jaya then shared how words like 'anxiety attack' didn't even exist when she was younger. 'We hadn't heard of an anxiety attack when we were kids. Let alone our childhood, we never heard it in our midlife also," she said. The 'Kora Kagaz' actress felt that today's young people are under pressure from 'too much information' about looks, beauty tricks and what others are doing, which only makes things worse. Shweta Bachchan says anxiety was always there But Jaya's daughter, Shweta Bachchan, didn't fully agree. She felt that anxiety was always around — it just wasn't spoken about before. 'Anxiety was always there. It's now more identifiable. It's more spoken about," Shweta said. She even pointed out that Jaya herself has felt anxious. 'It's just more vocal," Shweta added, hinting that now people are more open to talking about what's troubling them.

Jaya Bachchan Blames Internet For 'Anxiety Attacks'; Shweta Bachchan Shocked: ‘We Never Heard Of It'
In the candid conversation, Jaya Bachchan expressed concern over how excessive exposure to the digital world is affecting the mental health of Gen Z. Veteran actor and parliamentarian Jaya Bachchan is not one to mince words, and in a resurfaced episode of her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda's podcast What The Hell Navya, she once again sparked debate for blaming the internet for the rise in anxiety among young people. In the candid conversation, Jaya Bachchan expressed concern over how excessive exposure to the digital world is affecting the mental health of Gen Z. She said that younger people today feel the need to constantly validate themselves online, which adds unnecessary stress and contributes to what she calls an epidemic of anxiety. 'Navya, what happens among your generation is that 'answer to the calls quickly, reply to texts quickly'. You get your validation from what you see on the internet and your phone," Jaya said. 'Are we looking nice? Are we thinking correctly? If you are saying the right thing? All this increases your stress levels," she added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by misss (@myst_ery65) When Navya asked whether her generation is more stressed because of the internet, Jaya didn't hesitate to say, 'Definitely." She also claimed that the concept of anxiety attacks didn't exist during her youth or even midlife. 'We hadn't heard of an anxiety attack when we were kids. Let alone our childhood, we never heard it in our midlife also," she said. According to Jaya, 'too much information" about appearance, beauty routines, and social comparison is what fuels anxiety in today's generation. However, Jaya's daughter, Shweta Bachchan, offered a counterpoint. She argued that anxiety has always existed but is now more widely acknowledged. 'Anxiety was always there. It's now more identifiable. It's more spoken about," Shweta said. She also pointed out that even Jaya herself has admitted to feeling anxious, adding, 'It's just more vocal."

Navya Naveli opens up on not choosing films as career like brother Agastya: ‘Spent childhood listening to my father talk about tractors'
Navya Naveli Nanda, the granddaughter of megastar Amitabh Bachchan and veteran actor Jaya Bachchan, chose not to be an actor. In fact, she's not even remotely associated with the film industry, just like her parents — Nikhil Nanda and Shweta Bachchan — but unlike her brother Agastya Nanda, who made his acting debut a couple of years ago. 'I grew up in Delhi, so a large part of my childhood was spent watching and listening to my father talk about business, and more specifically, tractors. From a very young age, that is what excited me. I never wanted to join films; I wanted to be an entrepreneur,' said Navya. Her father Nikhil Nanda, based out of Delhi, is the Chairman and Managing Director of Escorts Kubota Limited, an engineering MNC which specializes in agricultural, construction and railways equipment and machinery. In the interview with Elle, Navya added, 'Absolutely nothing about where I come from, or who I am, or who my family is has ever been and will ever be a weight. It has only given me immense pride to belong to where I do. I carry each and every aspect of it with pride, and more importantly, responsibility. All I do is to make my family proud.' Navya, however, claims she acknowledges her privilege and tries to make the best use of it. 'I have always accepted the privilege I come from. It has allowed me to be who I am today. I am accepting of the fact that I was given many opportunities at a very young age that have allowed me to be where I am today, and for that, I will always be grateful. Making the most of those opportunities and doing justice to them is all that matters — giving it the best you can and not taking it for granted,' she said. A 27-year-old entrepreneur, Navya not only helps out her father in his business, but also runs a healthcare brand called Navya Care and an NGO on gender rights called Project Naveli. After spending most of her day working on these ventures, Navya spends four hours in the evening studying for her Blended Post Graduate Programme (BPGP) at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad. Navya also hosts a podcast called What The Hell Navya on which she appears alongside Shweta and Jaya Bachchan. 'I think both of them have taught me the fine balance between strength and vulnerability. Both mom and Nani have never shied away from being who they are: confident and bold. They embody the kind of woman I would hope to shape into one day,' she said.

He'll be next seen in Sriram Raghavan's war drama Ikkis.
