Jaya Bachchan blames the internet for anxiety attacks in the younger generation

Jaya Bachchan spoke about all things internet on the latest episode of Navya Nanda’s What The Hell Navya Season Two.

The sixth episode of the second season of Navya Nanda’s What The Hell Navya was released on her YouTube channel on Thursday. Titled Swipe Scroll Snap, it featured Navya, her mother Shweta Nanda and grandmother Jaya Bachchan, and the topic of conversation was internet.

During the episode, Jaya Bachchan shared how the internet provides a sense of validation for the younger generation. When that adds to stress, it leads to anxiety attacks.

She said: "You don’t think you are stressed but you are. We hadn’t heard of an anxiety attack when we were kids. Let alone our childhood, we never heard it in our midlife also. Where does this come from? This comes because you are constantly being fed information. This comes from ‘how does this girl look? How is she getting her nails, makeup?’ Anxiety comes from this. Too much information.”

Shweta responded to this saying that she does not agree with her opinion, and said that anxiety was always there but its just more identifiable these days.
