From Parliament To Fashion Week: Jaya Bachchan And Her Public Outbursts

Actor-politician Jaya Bachchan once said that it was her "nature" to lose her cool if she doesn't like or agree with something. From Parliament to family and film industry events, she has been clicked several times, going off the deep end. And today, she lost her cool again when a man tried to take a selfie with her, without her permission. "What is this?" she said while pushing the man away, leaving him dumbfounded. The video of her reaction, like many similar videos of hers, is now viral, garnering mixed reactions - some say that the man was intruding in her personal space, while others think she could have been more polite and avoided getting physical. Whichever side one leans on, it was not the first time that a video of Jaya Bachchan 's snappy demeanour trended on the internet. "I Hope You Double Up And Fall" In 2022, a paparazzo stumbled while trying to click her and her entrepreneur granddaughter, Navya Naveli Nanda, together at the Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai. " Serves you right, Ms Bachchan said to him, adding, "I hope you double up and fall". A few days later, she was seen lashing out at the paparazzi who were outside the Pratiksha, the bungalow of the Bachchans, to get some photos of the Diwali puja. "Ye kaise flash kar rahe hain aap (how are you flashing your cameras)? Intruders," she was heard saying. "I Don't Give A Damn About Trolls" The same year, on her granddaughter's podcast 'What The Hell Navya', she said she felt "very strongly" about the media. Ms Bachchan said that she despised the people who "interfere in your personal life". "I hate it. I despise it. I despise the people who interfere in your personal life and fill their stomachs by selling those products. I hate it, I'm disgusted with such people. I always tell them, I say, 'Aapko sharam nahi aati hai (Don't you feel ashamed?)'." In the same podcast, she said that she doesn't give a "damn" about the trolls. "If people are going to earn their living by putting all my angry speeches on YouTube, Instagram and Twitter, I don't give a damn." "You have an opinion about them personally, and you have an opinion about the work they do, I understand. You criticise it, you cut it into pieces, I accept. You can say, 'She is a bad actor, a bad parliamentarian,' but you have no business sitting in judgment of my personal character. 'She only knows how to get angry. Angry about what? You're intruding, interfering with my personal (space) when I'm walking somewhere, you're taking my picture. Why? Am I not a human being?" she added. The next year, during the screening of the movie The Archies, her grandson Agastya Nanda's debut film, she was seen scolding a cameraman. "Don't shout," she said before posing for photos. Earlier this year, she got irritated at a woman who asked her for a picture at actor Manoj Kumar's prayer meet. Ms Bachchan was talking to some people when the woman tapped on her shoulder. When she turned, a man tried to take a photo of the two together. Then the woman extended her hands toward her. But Ms Bachchan pushed it away and pulled up the man for clicking a photo on such an occasion. Jaya Bachchan's short temper has not just been reserved for the paparazzi. She also had several run-ins with other politicians, including former Vice President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar, who was also the Rajya Sabha Chairman. "Not Schoolchildren" During a 2024 session in Rajya Sabha, Ms Bachchan snapped at Mr Dhankhar and said the members of parliament are not "schoolchildren", asking him to treat the opposition MPs respectfully. Her remark came after a question on aviation was skipped during the Question Hour. Ms Bachchan, Deepender Singh Hooda of the Congress and other members of the opposition stood up and asked Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh why that had happened. "If you or the deputy chairman ask us to sit, we will, but we won't do so when another member gestures at us and tells us to sit. It is our right to question. You tell us you can't take up a question or that there is a problem, and it will be taken up later, we understand; we are not schoolchildren. But treat us respectfully," she said. In another instance, she got irritated when Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh introduced her as ' Jaya Amitabh Bachchan '. "Sir, sirf Jaya Bachchan bolte to kaafi hojata (It would've been enough to call me Jaya Bachchan)," the Rajya Sabha MP had said in the house on July 29 last year. "This is something new, that women will be recognised by the name of their husbands. They (women) have no existence or achievements of their own," she added, despite the deputy chairman clarifying that he was just reading out the name mentioned in the records. Then, more recently, the 77-year-old sparked a row when she questioned Operation Sindoor's name and asked why it was named so when the Pahalgam terror attack "destroyed the sindoor" of so many women. When the MPs from the ruling party interrupted her speech, she got irritated and said, "Either you speak or I will speak. When you speak, I don't interrupt. When a woman speaks, I never interrupt. So please mind your tongue". She also asked Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi not to control her when she asked her to calm down. "Priyanka, don't control me," said the veteran actor, evoking laughter from the MP sitting next to her.

New Delhi: Celebrities Janhvi Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, and Siddharth Anand, among others, have expressed their disapproval of the latest directive by the Supreme Court for mass confinement of street dogs in apex court on Monday ordered the Delhi government and civic bodies to start picking up strays from all localities and keep them in shelters, warning of strict action against anyone obstructing celebrities expressed their disappointment with the order on social orders disposal of leftover food inside its premises to prevent dog and Dhawan reshared a note on their respective Instagram.."They call it a menace. We call it a heartbeat. Today, the Supreme Court says - take away every stray dog off the streets of Delhi-NCR and lock them away. No sunlight. No freedom. No familiar faces they greet every morning," the note read.."Yes, there are problems - bites, safety concerns - but caging an entire community of animals is not a solution, it's an erasure. The real fix? Large-scale sterilization programs, regular vaccination drives, community feeding zones, and adoption campaigns. Not punishment. Not imprisonment. A society that can't protect its voiceless is a society losing its soul. Today it's the dogs. Tomorrow... who will it be? Raise your voice. Because they don't have one," it director Anand said the action against stray dogs is akin to a "genocide".."There's just no compassion left. Who will look after their food there? At least on the streets, there are some empathetic humans still who feed these poor, voiceless souls. They will die of hunger and thirst there, and that's the death warrant the SC has signed. Please, someone start a petition, and let's stop this genocide. I'm with you," he fewer stray dogs and zero rabies cases? Follow ABC formula, not Vir Das urged people to adopt street dogs. He penned a lengthy note in his Instagram post, adding the pictures of his pet dogs he adopted earlier.."If you are a resident of Delhi. Can I persuade you to adopt an indie off the streets, more than one? They are extremely healthy, low maintenance, and will provide you with more love affection and gratitude than you could ever imagine," he wrote.."Am also asking you to wholeheartedly and generously support your nearest animal welfare NGO. I plan on doing so, I hope you will too. As appeals are filed in court and processes take their time, it's important for our humanity to kick in immediately. Please do your part, big or small, it all adds up," he Varun Grover said he hopes that animal activists and authorities come to a collective solution.."Stray dog problem is real. And it's a problem created by humans who hate dogs not by those who love dogs. Stray dog sterilisation efforts by individuals and NGOs have been constantly blocked by societies by calling them dog-feeders. And now when their own blocking tactics made the problem huge, they are saying the only solution is to transport the dogs to 'shelters' that don't exist in the first place," his post on X read.."We all know what that means. Rabies cases are a huge failure of the system and the solution can't be the forced starvation or trauma to the animals. Hope the animal activists and authorities sit together and find humane solutions." Singer Chinmayi Sripaada said it's a "death sentence" for the dogs.."I am reading this as a death sentence for all dogs. People dump Huskies and Labs, and German Shepherds once they are done breeding them to death, in India. Shelters indeed," she wrote on John Abraham wrote a letter to Chief Justice B R Gavai, urging a review and modification of the directive.."I hope you will agree that these are not 'strays' but community dogs - respected and loved by many, and very much Delhiites in their own right, having lived in the region as neighbours to humans for generations," Abraham actor stated that the directive is in conflict with the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules, 2023, and the apex court's past judgements on the issue which have consistently "upheld a methodical sterilisation programme"..Telugu actor Adivi Sesh also penned a letter to the CJI and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, urging them to reconsider the Bhumi Pednekar shared a photo of a street dog and wrote, "We don't deserve them." Ananya Panday repost a statement by Dogs of India that said "street dogs are not a problem, they are victims." "A city's soul isn't just in its people... it's in the way it treats its voiceless too," read a post by actor Siddhant Vikramaditya Motwane said the SC's decision was "absolutely absurd".."What shelters? Who's making them? Who's taking care of the dogs there? Who's feeding them? What happens to the dogs after that? This is ridiculous!" he posted on his Instagram Vijay Varma posted, "Where are these far off places and who's gonna feed and tend these dogs?" Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar shared a quote by Mahatma Gandhi -- "The Greatness of a Nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated"..In the caption, she wrote, "We need another solution. A humane solution." "Eradicating animals and imprisoning them isn't the solution. This can become a death sentence for dogs and it's inhumane," said actor Shefali their judgement, A bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan noted that there was an "extremely grim" situation due to stray dog bites resulting in rabies, particularly among court has directed Delhi authorities to start with creating shelters for around 5,000 canines within six to eight weeks.

Ahaan Panday Admits He Is ‘Shy' Despite Being Extrovert: ‘People Don't Realize…'

Saiyaara star Ahaan Panday once revealed he has two sides to his personality—one that is very extroverted, and the other very shy. Ahaan Panday is currently basking in the success of his Bollywood debut film 'Saiyaara', directed by Mohit Suri. Amid the success of his film, several throwback videos and pictures of the actor have re-surfaced on social media. One such old video shows him addressing his fans during an Instagram live. In the video, he mentioned that while people think he is very extroverted, he also has a 'shy' side to him. In the video, he talked about surprising his sister Alanna by visiting her in Los Angeles, and said that he got so shy when meeting her after a year and a half. A throwback video of Ahaan Panday that is going viral on his fan pages shows him talking about meeting his sister Alanna after 1.5 years. 'I surprised Alanna a month ago and went to LA for the first time in my life. I had never been to LA before—it was my first visit. And obviously, I missed her so much. I hadn't seen her in a year and a half. People don't realize this, but I have two sides to me. I have this one side that's very very extroverted. But there's this other side of me. I get very shy, so it's weird. Because when I saw her…I got so shy. I know she is my own sister. But I was so shy seeing her. I was like 'I'm seeing Alanna after a year and a half'." Check out the video below! Ahaan talking about his shy personality 🥹 #AhaanPanday #Ahneet #saiyaara — suziimeia (@suzisingh07) August 11, 2025 This isn't the first time a throwback video of Ahaan has gone viral on social media. A few days ago, an old video showed Ahaan and his cousin Ananya Panday recreating an iconic scene from Karan Johar's 1998 film 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'. The cousin-duo channelled their inner Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol to portray the beloved characters Rahul and Anjali, and left fans impressed with their acting skills!

Meanwhile, Saiyaara has broken records at the box office! The film, which released in July 18, collected a whopping Rs 319.85 crore net in India so far, and approximately Rs 538.25 crore in worldwide collection.
