Amitabh Bachchan's granddaughter and Shweta Bachchan's daughter Navya Naveli is pursuing her studies in London. Meanwhile, the Bollywood youngster is also preparing to be launched. Well, not in Bollywood this time. Navya's story has a twist in the tale. Unlike other star kids, Navya will be launched into Paris High Society at the "le Bal des Débutantes" ball. Also known simply as le Bal, this is a fashion event held annually that brings together 25 girls aged 16 to 22 from about a dozen countries. It is held each year on Thanksgiving weekend in Paris, and has been designated by Forbes since 2005 as one of the world's 10 hottest parties.

Navya has been reported to be saying, "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, and also practicing 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."

When asked if Big B will be attending the ball, excited mom Shweta Bachchan 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."

Well, all the best to Shweta and Navya for their big day!
