Agastya Nanda, son of Shweta Bachchan and Nikhil Nanda, made his Bollywood debut with Zoya Akhtar's film, The Archies. While the film failed to impress the nation, Agastya definitely gained massive popularity courtesy of his good looks and charming personality. However, Agastya is not living in illusion, and he knows how good the film did in the hearts of millions. Recently, Agastya Nanda talked about his grandfather, Amitabh Bachchan's superstardom and how he didn't have any idea about it.
Recently, in an interview with Film Companion, Agastya recalled how he had no idea about his grandfather, Amitabh Bachchan's fame. However, he found out about the same when Amitabh Bachchan visited his school for the annual day function. Agastya shared that his family doesn't bring work home, and his nana never really talked about his work at home. So, he found it all normal. Agastya was quoted as saying:
"The way my family has been, they don't bring work home. Like my nana never spoke about work at home. So I found it very normal. I thought like okay, he's a normal granddad but I only realised when he came to school on annual day that oh god, he is someone. It was so normal up till then. (We had) grandparents day in school in Delhi. When he'd show up, everyone would go crazy and I was like I just don't get this, why is everyone going crazy. That's when I realised. And then of course, when I started watching cinema, I was like okay, he's kind of good at this."

For the promotions of his then-released film, Agastya appeared on Amitabh Bachchan's hosted show, Kaun Banega Crorepati 15. In the clip that went viral, Agastya shows off his million-dollar smile along with Khushi Kapoor and Suhana Khan. We could also see Agastya sharing a poem for his nanu. He said:
"Nanu ap ho OG, nanu aap ho mahan, KBC ke sawal dedo aap asan."
However, Amitabh Bachchan wasn't flattered by Agastya's buttering. He replied, "Yeh nanu-vanu nahi chalega KBC ke manch par." Later, he was seen asking Suhana Khan what her father, Shah Rukh Khan advised her before coming on the show. To which, the young diva said:
"Unhone kaha ki apko bas yaad dila dun ki aapne unke father ka role play kiya hai toh ask me easy questions."
The Bachchans know how to root for their family. When Abhishek Bachchan debuted in the film industry in 2000, Jaya Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan happily cheered for him. Now, when their daughter, Shweta Bachchan's son, Agastya Nanda, made his Bollywood debut, they left no stone unturned to hype him. For the premiere of his film, the entire Bachchan family marked their presence, including Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.
