He wrote, 'After their marriage, Jaya was doing a film, and when the posters appeared, her maiden name was billed. Someone, obviously trying to flatter Amitabh, said: 'Why should this be? She should be billed as a Bachchan.' Amit promptly retorted: 'Of course, she is a Bachchan, but you should know that in the industry and professionally, she is more famous as Jaya Bhaduri'." Amitabh was last seen with actor Rajinikanth in Vettaiyan, which hit theatres last year. In the film, Amitabh also shared screen space with Fahadh Faasil and Rana Daggubati.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now She said, 'It's an organic part of my life so I never felt that way. Acting is my passion so it drives me to do other things. But I am happy in my personal space if I am working.' 'During the early days of my journey as an actor I have chipped in my system that being an actor would require many rainy days and one needs to be strong enough to deal with it so yes not being consistent does affect many things but that's a part and parcel of the profession,' she added. And Moon revealed that the biggest challenge would be cracking a deal with the right amount of money and role. But even then she has never thought of giving up acting. She said, 'I don't see myself not performing as acting is my biggest joy and love.' She also confessed that she has never questioned her career choice and said that she has never lost faith in herself. She further said, 'And the almighty helps me stay strong and I keep feeding my faith more and starving my fear.' 'However, of late the working conditions, the dip in the commercials, the meaty roles going to less competent ones, and I have also heard that people now cast actors as per their social media followers so that makes me question as an actor about the investment that we have made over the years polishing the skill is kind of not valued,' Moon concluded.

When Jaya Bachchan took over Moushumi Chatterjee's role in ‘Koshish': "Manipulations were done..."
Jaya Bachchan has always been a shining name in Hindi cinema. Known for her natural acting and powerful screen presence, she starred in classic films like 'Guddi,' 'Abhimaan,' 'Mili,' and 'Anamika.' In the 1970s, she was the top choice for many filmmakers, winning hearts with every role she played. But while her film journey has been full of success, Jaya Bachchan has also been part of many controversies. Her straightforward nature and quick temper have made headlines several times. Whether it's her run-ins with paparazzi or her bold comments at public events, Jaya is never afraid to speak her mind. One of the lesser-known stories involves her alleged clash with fellow actress Moushumi Chatterjee — a story that still creates buzz. The film that started it all by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo As reported by the heart of this story lies in Gulzar 's 1972 film 'Koshish.' While the film is remembered for its beautiful storytelling and performances, not many know that Jaya Bachchan wasn't the original choice for the lead role. According to Moushumi Chatterjee, she was the first actress cast in the film. She even shot for three days before being replaced. In a 2023 interview with 'Laharen Retro,' Moushumi opened up about what really happened behind the scenes. 'I shot for three days, and I could see what manipulations were done in those three days. I could see Jaya Bachchan's secretary. She used to be in the office from morning till night. And suddenly Gulzar da, whom I knew from the time of 'Geetanjali' and who used to teach Urdu to my mother-in-law, said that you have to shoot till a little late at night from tomorrow.' At that time, Moushumi had just become a mother. She told Gulzar she could only shoot during the day, as her baby was still very young. But instead of understanding her situation, Gulzar gave her a harsh reply. She recalled, 'I had recently become a mother, and the child was small. I could shoot only in one shift.' But Gulzar told her, 'Many other heroines were in the queue to take this role.' Feeling hurt and sidelined, Moushumi left the film. Soon after, Jaya Bachchan was cast in her place. Coincidence or clever planning? The sudden change in casting raised many questions. Moushumi noticed that Jaya's secretary was always present during her short time on the set. It made her feel that something was being planned behind her back. Though Jaya Bachchan has never spoken about this, the timing of her entry into the film made people wonder if the move was intentional. To this day, neither Gulzar nor Jaya has responded to Moushumi's claims. Was it just a case of bad timing? Or was there more going on behind the scenes? Guess we may never know the full truth.
