New Delhi: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan's granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda is into entrepreneurship and has venture Aara Health going strong. She recently opened up on how sexism begins early at home with only girls asked to do domestic duties.

Speaking to SheThePeople, Navya Naveli Nanda said, "I’ve seen it happen at home where if we have any guests over, my mother will always say just go and get this or go and get that and I have to play the host as opposed to my brother, who could also be doing the same thing."

"So I think especially in homes where you live with joint families, that responsibility of learning how to run the house or learning how to take care of guests or learning how to play host is always somehow put on the daughter. And I have never seen that importance being given to my brother or a younger boy in the house. I think that itself is ingraining women into believing that it’s our responsibility to look after the house," she added.
