Actress Jaya Bachchan of Rajya Sabha fame is in the news again—not for her films, but for her controversial public conduct. A few days ago, Jaya Bachchan was seen in a video scolding a man attempting to take a selfie with her and, quite remarkably, shoving him outside the Constitution Club. This incident drew a lot of criticism both online and within the film industry. Mukesh Khanna Calls Out Jaya Bachchan Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna was the first to strongly critcize and scold Bachchan for her negative and rude interactions with fans and media people. Khanna was also seen speaking in an interview, “Her behaviour towards media has changed. She shouts asking who are you and what you want. It is wrong. We live for these people.” He suggested shedding lights on why these attitues are common. Khanna proposes is either a politically motivated disturbance, relating it to the Rajya Sabha speeches of Bachchan, or something of her home.Kangana Ranaut and Ashok Pandit Light the Blazing Controversy Kangana Ranaut, as bold as they come with social media statements, reshared the video, dubbing Jaya Bachchan as the ‘most spoiled and privileged’ person. She went on to say, “People tolerate her tantrums only because she’s Amitabh Bachchan’s wife. Her attitude and remarks are sheer disgrace.” The filmmaker Ashok Pandit did not hold himself back either. He wrote, “It’s extremely condemnable and shows insult towards people who elected her. A public servant need not always be an irritated person. She, like so many, ought to appreciate the love and admiration that has been showered on her.” The Incident at the Constitution Club The whole issue came to the limelight when, indignantly, Jaya Bachchan smacked the selfie seeker who was trying to click pictures with her. Social media was lighted with the reactions about her rudeness and lack of grace towards the people whom she claims to represent.
