She said, 'Jaya ji ko, Jaya ji ko dekh kar main… Kora Kagaz ki thi mere papa ke saath, jisme papa ko National Award mila tha. Jaya ji ka kaam dekh kar, Kora Kagaz dekh kar maine initially acting seekhi hai. I hope unse yeh bartaav naa seekhu,' she said.
The remark comes after a video of Jaya Bachchan pushing away a man attempting to take a selfie with her surfaced online. The clip sparked strong reactions from netizens, with many criticising her behaviour.
Kangana Ranaut called her 'the most spoilt and privileged woman,' while filmmaker Ashoke Pandit described the incident as 'highly condemnable' and said public figures should treat people with humility and respect.
The incident quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from netizens. For instance, a user commented, 'Aisa bartav kisi bhi actress ko nahi karna chahiye, I think so,' while another wrote, 'There's no excuse to be rude.'
One comment read, 'Actually boycott such people,' whereas a fan told Rupali, 'Aap bahot achi hai, inki jaisi harkat mat karna Anupamaa ji.'
However, some internet users defended Jaya Bachchan. One supporter wrote, 'Jaya ji has faced hell in her life, koi bhi hota unki jagah toh aisa hi karta. Leave her alone peacefully,' while another pointed out, 'That man went so close to take a selfie — had he even asked whether he could take a picture with her?' A third comment read, 'Unka behaviour me kuch ghalat nahi hai.

Agar public me ghul milgayi to public unko chune me bhi harz nahi karegi, aur yeh unke values ke khilaaf hai.
Is behaviour ko galat naam mat do. Most of the well-educated, well-disciplined women are like this only. Unke jaise agar sab ban jao to aadmi log ka distance maintain rahega.'
Rupali Ganguly is currently winning hearts as the lead in Anupamaa, one of the most popular shows on Indian television.
