She has the poise, elegance and disarmingly good looks, but Shweta Bachchan-Nanda chooses to play many different roles off screen rather than being in front of the camera. Acting may be in her genes and she may also be associated with another filmy khandaan (Nanda-Kapoors) via her marriage but there is hardly anything filmy about Shweta Bachchan-Nanda who has chosen a path in life which is totally different from the people she is surrounded by. And it’s the offscreen roles that she plays which make her endearing to common women like us. Because these are also the roles that we play every day – that of a daughter, a mother, a sister, a wife, a career woman and a follower of our passion. Let’s have a look at the many roles that the Bachchan scion plays.
As A Daughter
Abhishek had candidly revealed on Karan Johar’s chat Koffee With Karan that Shweta is daddy Abhishek Bachchan favourite out of the two and that nothing else matters to him if she is there. Truly Shweta is a doting daughter that any father would love to have. In fact, the only time that Swheta has been onscreen was for an advert featuring papa dearest. Big B had also called her the best actor in the family. Amitabh Bachchan shared a beautiful collage of pictures to wish daughter Shweta a very happy birthday calling her the best daughter in the world:

As A Sister
Shweta Bachchan has continued to play a big role in younger brother Abhishek Bachchan’s life. She is supportive of her brother’s choices, defensive when he gets trolled, and loves him dearly still. Wishing his big sis on her birthday with a throwback picture on Instagram of the two eating ice-cream, Abhishek Bachchan wrote: Happy birthday to the big sis!!
Thankfully, my hand-mouth coordination has improved since then!!! Have a wonderful day and an ever better year, Shwetdi. Love you.
Shweta’s reply to the wish was so cute:
“Love you baby brother. Your coordination is still suspect. You owe me an ice cream on the beach.”

As A Wife
Shweta married Escorts Group businessman Nikhil Nanda in 1997. Nikhil is the grandson of Raj Kapoor. The couple keeps it very low key and has supported each other throughout over two decades of their marriage which was never marred with any controversy. Being in the limelight sometimes backfires for some couples and that may be the reason why Shweta continues to keep her marital life under wraps to avoid any speculations.
As A Mother
Mother to Navya Naveli Nanda and Agstya Nanda, Shweta Bachchan considers herself a modern-day mother who is not exactly a friend to her offspring. She does not unnecessarily spoil her kids and believes that her daughter only needs to enter the film industry if she has the talent for it. She talks about her kids on social media and her posts show so much adulation for her kids. In her posts, she has revealed that she wants Navya to be her daughter in all lifetimes and that for her, she holds the universe together. The mother-daughter duo has even modelled together several times and the pictures are just priceless!
As A Businesswoman
It was not until her 40s that Shweta Bachchan decided to become an entrepreneur. Karan Johar, who was in love with her immaculate styling sense encouraged her to do something on her own. And that was the beginning of her fashion label MxS with the celebrated designer Monisha Jaisingh. The affordable luxury brand was launched in 2018 to fill in the gap in the market between Zara and Gucci. The message that she wants to send out with her brand of clothing is that you can have fun with fashion at any age.
As A Writer
In one of her interviews, Shweta Bachchan has admitted to being a voyeur and her keen sense of observation led her to turn into an author, putting those observations into her written words. Being the granddaughter of the famous poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan, writing must have come naturally to her. Paradise Towers, her debut novel was received well by readers who said that they connected with the characters. Now, she is all set to pen another title after this.
She had no starry airs despite being the daughter of the biggest star that Bollywood has seen. This truly makes her an icon worth following who juggles so many roles with ease.
