Jaya Bachchan has frequently expressed her dislike for paparazzi culture. The veteran actress is known for her outbursts at cameramen, usually due to privacy invasions.
One notable incident in 2013 occurred at Subhash Ghai’s wife’s birthday party.
According to Business Standard, Jaya Bachchan was asked about Aishwarya Rai as she arrived at the party.
She immediately lashed out, questioning why the paparazzi referred to Aishwarya by her first name:
“Kya Aishwarya Aishwarya bula rahe ho; tumhari class mein padhti thi kya?” (Why are you calling her Aishwarya? Was she your classmate?).
In a more recent encounter, Jaya appeared in a better mood at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding ceremony. She walked the red carpet with Amitabh Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan, and her grandchildren, Navya Naveli Nanda and Agastya Nanda.
Earlier in the day, Amitabh Bachchan shared a photo with Jaya, hinting they might be filming a new advertisement. In the picture, Amitabh holds an umbrella for his wife, who looked graceful in a blue salwar suit. “T 5074 – …. and the rain it raineth every day .. even on set at work,” Big B wrote.
On the Work Front: Jaya Bachchan was last seen in “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani,” which released last year and was a significant hit. The film also starred Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, and Shabana Azmi, directed by Karan Johar.
