The CM’s remarks have drawn flak from many online users. Chhapaak writer Atika Chohan took to Instagram to post a series of selfies where she is seen wearing ripped jeans.

As for Navya, since she has made her Instagram account public, she has been actively engaging in subjects like women’s safety. Navya recently launched her project, Naveli, to fight gender disparity in the country.

Recently, when an Instagram user questioned her mother Shweta Bachchan’s profession, Navya highlighted the contribution of homemakers. Shweta is an author and filmmaker; she also has her design label.

“Being a mother and a wife is a full time job. Please don’t discredit women who are homemakers. Their role is so crucial in the upbringing of a generation that will hopefully support their contribution instead of tearing it down,” Navya wrote in an Instagram story.
