Yo, SoCal tech heads and Bollywood buffs, it’s a major moment! Apple CEO Tim Cook just dropped the hottest gadgets of the year - the iPhone 17 series, AirPods 3, Apple Watch Series 11, SE3, and Ultra 3 - at the iconic Apple Park in Cupertino, California. And guess who got the VIP pass to witness this tech extravaganza? None other than Amitabh Bachchan’s granddaughter, Navya Naveli Nanda, and Bollywood’s vocal sensation, Armaan Malik, bringing some serious desi glam to Silicon Valley.
These two weren’t just there to clap from the sidelines at Apple’s sleek theatre. They snagged selfies with Tim Cook himself and gave us all the behind-the-scenes vibes on social media. From Navya’s Insta carousel to Armaan’s hyped-up posts, it’s clear they were living their best life under the California sun, surrounded by innovation and that unmistakable Apple magic.
Navya, looking every bit the next-gen Bachchan with that LA influencer energy, shared a post captioned ‘Day 1 with Apple,’ featuring a cute convo vid with Tim Cook and shots of the iconic Apple Rainbow Stage. Her mom, Shweta Bachchan, couldn’t help but chime in with a sweet ‘What fun!’ comment, and honestly, we’re jealous. Who wouldn’t want to sip coffee with Cook at the tech mecca of Cupertino?
Armaan, on the other hand, was all about that iPhone 17 Air flex. He dropped a selfie taken with the shiny new device and shared snaps alongside Navya and Cook, hyping up the ‘Awe Dropping’ event vibes. Word is, Tim hosted an exclusive meet-and-greet at Apple HQ before the main show, rolling out the red carpet - well, more like a tech runway - for influencers, creators, and our Bollywood duo.
‘Getting to experience the iPhone 17 launch firsthand with Tim Cook was unreal - pure Cali dream vibes!’ - Armaan Malik
But hold up - not everyone’s throwing confetti over Navya and Armaan’s Apple Park cameo. Some netizens are serving up major side-eye, especially at Navya, claiming her invite was all thanks to the Bachchan family clout rather than her own hustle. Comments online are buzzing with shade like, ‘Does Tim Cook even know who they are?’ Ouch, that’s colder than a Malibu winter morning!
Despite the drama, let’s not forget Navya’s carving her own path outside Bollywood’s spotlight. The Fordham University grad is currently chasing a part-time MBA at IIM Ahmedabad while running Project Naveli, a dope initiative for gender equality. Plus, she co-hosts a podcast tackling youth issues - talk about a multi-hyphenate with SoCal summer energy!
Armaan, meanwhile, is riding high on the iPhone 17 Air wave, showing off his new toy like it’s the ultimate Grammy accessory. His excitement is contagious, and fans are eating up every post from the event. It’s clear this singer’s got a knack for blending Bollywood beats with Silicon Valley feats.
As for Navya, daughter of Shweta Bachchan and Nikhil Nanda (big boss at Escorts Kubota), she’s proving she’s more than just a famous last name. Whether she’s at a tech launch or building her empire, she’s got that LA hustle - and we’re here for it, haters or not. So, what do you think of this Bollywood-tech crossover?
