When it comes to voicing her ideas, Kangana Ranaut is one of the boldest and most fiery performers in the industry. No matter how you feel about her, you can’t just ignore her. The actress has the retaliation skills of a true boss when it comes to dealing with trolls.
But, she is also often in the news for making light of her colleagues and fellow people. As the actress referred to the entertainment business as a “gutter,” she got into a heated spat with renowned actress Jaya Bachchan. Here’s a look back at a classic tale.
In 2020, when Kangana referred to Bollywood as a “gutter,” Jaya Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan’s wife, and Kangana came to blows. Bollywood was going through a tough period following the tragic death of Sushant Singh Rajput, and the subject of nepotism was at its height.
Jaya publicly criticized several people in the film industry, stating, “Jis thali mai khaate hai usmai ched karte hai,” without naming them. Kangana’s scathing response to the Rajya Sabha footage went viral almost immediately.
Jaya ji would you say the same thing if in my place it was your daughter Shweta beaten, drugged and molested as a teenage, would you say the same thing if Abhieshek complained about bullying and harassment constantly and found hanging one day? Show compassion for us also 🙏 https://t.co/gazngMu2bA

Jaya Bachchan, who was visibly disturbed by the actions of the few, said that it was inappropriate to sully the industry’s reputation.
Kangana Ranaut’s statement that 99.5 percent of the film business has been exposed to drugs was the first spark for the controversy. Even more disappointing for Jaya Bachchan was her request to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he clean it up as part of the government’s Swachh Bharat Program.
In 2022, when the two actresses finally encountered each other in person, Jaya Bachchan avoided speaking to Kangana Ranaut.
