Jaya Bachchan back in meme territory again, pushes selfie-seeker fan at Constitution Club in Delhi

Time of India7 hours ago
Jaya Bachchan, never one to mince words or gestures, made yet another viral moment on Tuesday. While at the Constitution Club in Delhi, the Samajwadi Party MP was approached by a man eager to snap a selfie. What happened next? Let us just say the photo op was cancelled, quite literally.

Selfie with Jaya Bachchan gone wrong in the capital
In the now-viral clip, Bachchan can be seen physically pushing the man away while questioning his behaviour. Witnesses say her tone was sharp and her body language was anything but amused. Standing nearby was Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi, who briefly turned to see what had happened before walking off towards the Club entrance.
Jaya's parliament clapbacks
This was far from her first public display of irritation. Only recently, during the fiery Operation Sindoor debate in Parliament, she publicly told treasury bench members to stop interrupting her. Her frustration even extended to her own colleague Priyanka Chaturvedi, whom she reportedly told not to 'control' her mid-speech.
Those who have followed her career in politics know these moments are not rare. Bachchan's assertive personality has often translated into unforgettable, headline-grabbing exchanges.
Past run-ins with protocol and paparazzi
Last year, she was visibly annoyed when Rajya Sabha Chairperson Jagdeep Dhankhar introduced her as 'Jaya Amitabh Bachchan,' a title she clearly did not appreciate. She pointedly reminded the Chair that she is an artist and a parliamentarian, and that the tone and manner of the introduction were unacceptable.
Outside Parliament, paparazzi have also been on the receiving end of her impatience. From scolding photographers to calling out inappropriate behaviour, Bachchan's boundary-setting has been as consistent as it is unapologetic.
The viral reputation continues
Tuesday's selfie shove has now been added to her growing highlight reel of viral moments. Whether one sees it as protecting her personal space or being too blunt in public, there is no denying that Jaya Bachchan's reactions always make for compelling headlines.
With cameras rolling and social media ready to amplify every move, the veteran actor-turned-MP seems to have embraced her place as one of India's most outspoken public figures, unfiltered, unscripted, and completely herself.

Kangana Ranaut Slams Jaya Bachchan Over Selfie Incident, Calls Her Spoilt and Privileged

Mumbai: Actress and politician Kangana Ranaut has shared a sharp reaction to Jaya Bachchan's unfortunate selfie incident, calling the veteran actress a 'spoilt and privileged' woman. On Wednesday, veteran actress and Samajwadi Party's MP was seen getting angry at a fan who tried to take a selfie with her as she arrived at the Constitution Club in Delhi. Losing her temper, Jaya pushed the man back with great force, saying, "Yeh kya kar rahe ho? (What are you doing)" After this, the man stepped back. During the incident, fellow parliamentarian and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi was also present with Jaya Bachchan. Bashing her political opponent for her recent behavior, Kangana reshared the video on her Instagram stories and wrote: 'Most spoilt and privileged woman. People put up with her tantrums/nonsense just because she is @amitabhbachchan ji's wife. That Samajwadi topi looks like a rooster comb, while she looks like a rooster cock!! Such disgrace and shame.' However, this is not the first time Kangana has taken a dig at Jaya Bachchan. Back in 2020 as well, Jaya Bachchan had attacked Kangana for calling the film industry a 'gutter.' Responding to this, the 'Emergency' actress penned on her X (formerly Twitter) timeline: 'Jaya ji, would you say the same thing if it was your daughter Shweta who was beaten, drugged, and molested as a teenager? Would you say the same if Abhishek faced constant bullying and harassment, or if he was found hanging one day? Show compassion for us also.' Prior to this, Kangana had wholeheartedly welcomed the government's decision to ban OTT platforms such as Ullu, ALTT, and Desiflix for showing soft porn content. Speaking exclusively to IANS, Kangana lauded the government's decision, saying that it was important in order to preserve our culture and future generations. "In order to preserve the overall culture of our country and the future path of our youngsters, and so that our society does not collapse completely, this step was much awaited and is now much appreciated. The action taken against these apps, especially the illegal ones, is highly appreciated", the 'Simran' actress said.

Kulgam op being wound up: Officials

SRINAGAR: The 11-day-long anti-terror operation in the forests of south Kashmir's Kulgam district was being wound up, with no contact having been established with terrorists in the past 48 hours, officials said Tuesday. 'There has been no exchange of fire since Saturday,' a senior Army official confirmed. A senior police official said, 'The operation has now entered a low-key, subdued phase. We cannot, however, say that it has been called off entirely.' Top military commanders and police officers had been monitoring the operation. This was one of the longest anti-terror operations in recent years. Two soldiers from the Army's elite counter-insurgency unit — Lance Naik Pritpal Singh and Sepoy Harminder Singh, both from Punjab — fell to terrorists' bullets; one local terrorist was shot dead, and 10 security personnel were injured in the operation. The encounter broke out on August 1 in Akhal Khulsan forests when a joint team of security forces was conducting a cordon-and-search operation based on intelligence inputs about the presence of three to five ultras in the area. The combing party came under fire, triggering a gunfight in which one local terrorist was killed. The other suspects managed to escape, taking advantage of the thick forests and deep ravines, prompting one of the largest searches in the area, with security forces deploying drones for aerial surveillance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The 5 Books Warren Buffett Recommends You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo During the operation, intermittent firing and blasts were heard. The two Armymen were killed in a fierce gunfight on Saturday morning, taking the death toll of security personnel killed in anti-terror operations in J&K this year to 16 — three in Kashmir Valley and 13 in Jammu division, including three casualties due to Pakistani firing during escalated tensions between both countries following Operation Sindoor. After the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, security forces have so far killed 14 terrorists in Kashmir this year, including three top Lashkar-e-Taiba operatives linked to the Pahalgam attack who were shot dead in Srinagar on July 28.

SC restrains Assam Police from coercive action against Wire's Varadarajan

The Supreme Court on Tuesday restrained Assam Police from taking any coercive action against senior journalist Siddharth Varadarajan in connection with an FIR lodged against him over an article on Operation Sindoor. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi issued notice on the PIL filed by the Foundation for Independent Journalism, which runs the web portal 'The Wire', challenging the constitutional validity of Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Section 152 of the BNS deals with the "act endangering sovereignty, unity and integrity of India". "Whoever, purposely or knowingly, by words, either spoken or written, or by signs, or by visible representation, or by electronic communication or by use of financial means, or otherwise, excites or attempts to excite, secession or armed rebellion or subversive activities, or encourages feelings of separatist activities or endangers sovereignty or unity and integrity of India; or indulges in or commits any such act shall be punished with imprisonment for life or with imprisonment which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine," it reads. The top court asked the members of the foundation and Varadarajan to cooperate with the investigation into the matter. The bench tagged the matter with a similar pending plea in which notice was issued on August 8. The FIR against Varadarajan was registered after an article was published in 'The Wire' on Operation Sindoor, under which India targeted terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in May in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack.
