Indulging in a conversation with his mother Shweta Nanda, grandmother Jaya Bachchan, and sister Navya Naveli Nanda on her podcast show, The Archies actor Agastya tackled the subject of male toxicity. Talking about the manner in which a woman perceives a man’s gestures, like opening a door or paying the bill on a date, Agastya said, “As long as you’re doing it to be polite, and to not say, ‘I’m the man’, you can’t go wrong. If you’re opening the door [without impressing on the fact that] ‘I’m the one opening the door’, but are doing it to say, ‘I want to help you,’ it’s never going to come across the wrong way. If you say, ‘I’d love to pay for this meal’, and not, ‘I’m the provider, so I’ll pay’, it’s not going to come across the wrong way.”
