What The Hell Navya Season 2,' Jaya Bachchan revealed that she and her husband Amitabh Bachchan have always been very protective of their children, Abhishek and Shweta."We were more protective because we didn't know any better. That's what we were taught, that's how we were brought up. You (Shweta) have been brought up differently, and you will bring up your children even more differently," said Jaya.Shweta echoed her thoughts and said, "A lot of times, people don't learn from other people's experiences. They have to learn from their own experiences. You have to give your children a chance to make those mistakes. It's actually, literally like putting your children out there or letting them go is like taking your heart out and putting it on the table. Because your every instinct is 'I don't want them to get hurt. This is maybe not a right person. This is maybe not a right direction they're going in,' but it's very difficult to say, 'Okay, I'll let you do it.' I think it's the best thing you can do for your child that you can let them make their own mistakes. Because they will gain experience."Earlier this week, Navya Nanda posted several pictures on her Instagram, showing her family participating in 'Holika Dahan' and Holi celebrations.

As a result, Hiranyakashipu asked his sister Holika to kill Prahlad.However, when Holika tried to kill Prahlad by dragging him to a pyre, she was consumed by the fire herself while Prahlada emerged unscathed, with the blessings of Lord Vishnu.During Holika Dahan, devotees walk and pray around bonfires carrying vessels full of water.
