Jaya Bachchan's viral push at a selfie-seeking fan has split the internet, with Ashoke Pandit and Kangana Ranaut openly criticising her reaction.
A clip of veteran actress and Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan shoving away a man who came close for a selfie in Delhi has exploded across social media, triggering a storm of reactions from both fans and celebrities.
Ashoke Pandit Slams Jaya Bachchan's Behaviour
Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit didn't hold back after watching the footage, posting on Instagram that the move was 'highly condemnable" and showed 'humiliation towards people who have elected her to serve them." He added, 'A public servant can't afford to be sulking and irritated 24 x 7. One expects humility & compassion from an artist of her calibre who has been loved by her fans that are responsible to provide her this stature and position."
What Did Jaya Bachchan Do?
Actress-turned-politician Jaya Bachchan lost her cool on Tuesday when a man tried to take a selfie with her at the Constitution Club in New Delhi. A video of the incident has surfaced on social media and left everyone shocked. In the clip, the Samajwadi Party MP was seen pushing a man trying to take a selfie with her. She also said, 'Kya kar rahe hai aap (What are you doing?) What is this?"
Bachchan's fellow parliamentarian and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi was also seen standing near the Samajwadi MP. As soon as Bachchan shoved the man, Chaturvedi turned to look around and then went ahead to walk towards the Club. Watch the video here:
Kangana Ranaut On Jaya Bachchan
Actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut also waded in, calling Bachchan 'most spoilt and privileged" in her Instagram story. She wrote, 'Most spoilt and privileged woman. People put up with her tantrums / non sense just because she is @amitabhbachchan ji's wife. That samajwadi topi looks like a rooster comb, while she looks like a fighting cock!! Shame. Such disgrace and shame (sic)."
Mixed Public Opinion
In the viral clip, shot outside Delhi's Constitution Club on August 12, Bachchan looks visibly annoyed, asking the man, 'Kya kar rahe hai aap? What is this?" He quickly apologises.
While some social media users say she overreacted, others insist she has the right to protect her personal space.
Her Stance on Paparazzi
Bachchan has openly voiced her dislike for paparazzi culture and has had tense exchanges with photographers in the past, preferring to be clicked only at official or film-related events.
