Actor Agastya Nanda, who recently made his theatrical debut with 'Ikkis' following his appearance in 'The Archies', has publicly addressed the substantial expectations associated with his illustrious Bachchan and Kapoor family lineage. In a widely reported IMDb interview with filmmaker Sriram Raghavan, Nanda emphasized that he does not feel the pressure of carrying forward these legendary legacies. Nanda, son of Shweta Bachchan Nanda and businessman Nikhil Nanda, asserted his primary identity by stating, 'My surname is Nanda because I'm my father's son first. I focus on making him proud, and that's a legacy I carry very heavily on me.' He clarified that while he deeply admires the work of his other family members who are actors, he does not believe he can ever be them and therefore finds it unproductive to dwell on such comparisons. His maternal grandparents are Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, and through his father, he is also connected to the Kapoor family (his paternal grandmother Ritu Nanda was Raj Kapoor's daughter). These statements gained significant traction across Indian media, with numerous credible sources like Times of India, Indian Express, Mid-day, and Times Now corroborating the quotes and context. The news comes as Agastya Nanda is establishing his career in the Hindi film industry, taking on significant roles like Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal in the war biopic 'Ikkis'. His remarks reflect a desire to forge his own path and define his identity beyond the shadow of his famous relatives.
