She is currently studying in London
Navya Naveli Nanda, the grand-daughter of Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, will be attending the Le Bal, the annual debutante ball held in Paris that brings together 25 girls from celebrity families at the end of November.
Seventeen-year-old Navya, who is also the great grand-daughter of Raj Kapoor, has films in her lineage. But the young girl has been kept away from the limelight, until now.
She is currently studying in London and has already started preparing for the ball which, according to Forbes, is one of the most happening parties in world.
“I’m going to be taking some dance lessons, so that my dancing is up to the mark, and also, I will be going to the fittings to make sure that my dresses are fine. I’m also practising walking in heels because that’s unusual for me. I shall be walking around my bedroom in heels and trying to make sure that I don’t fall over,” Navya was quoted as saying by Forbes.
A Paris-based make-up artist is also working with her and mum Shweta Nanda closely to make the teenager look absolutely perfect on the big day.
When asked if Big B will attend the ball, daughter Shweta said, “He’s so busy. He’s doing so many things, but they are the apples of his eye, his grandchildren, so we hope he’ll be able to make it and to see her in this way. It’s a first for all of us and we’re all very excited.”
Created by Ophélie Renouard in 1992, the ball marks cosmopolitan girls’ entry into the worlds of couture and media, which they often are gaining access to for the first time. It is held each year on Thanksgiving weekend in Paris.
