Veteran actor Jaya Bachchan has said that ‘physical attraction’ is very important for a relationship to last longer.
Speaking with her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda on her podcast What The Hell Navya, Jaya also said that during ‘our times we couldn’t experiment’. Calling the physical aspect ‘very very important’, Jaya said that a relationship can’t last on ‘love, fresh air and adjustment’. She also said that she doesn’t have a problem with Navya Naveli Nanda
having a ‘child without a marriage’.
Jaya said, “People will find it objectionable coming from me but physical attraction and compatibility are also very important. Our times we couldn’t experiment but today the generation does and why shouldn’t they? Because that also is responsible for a long-lasting relationship.
If there isn’t a physical relationship it’s not going to last very long. You can’t be lasting on love and fresh air and adjustment, I feel. It’s very very important.”
“Sometimes it’s a pity but a lot of the younger lot, of course, we never could, we couldn’t even think about it but the younger generation even after me, Shweta’s generation, Navya’s is a different ballgame, but they would feel guilty going through that experience and I think it’s very wrong”.
“It’s okay and then you do things on the sly. If you had a physical relationship and you feel that still, my relationship otherwise not worked out you can be nice about it,” the veteran actor added.
