Jaya Bachchan is quite popular for her behavior with the media and fans. The veteran actress recently attended a fashion show in Mumbai with her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda. As they arrived at the venue, the paparazzi clicked their pictures.They were on their way toward the entrance of the venue, the paparazzi caught a glimpse of them and started clicking pictures. While clicking the pictures, when a shutterbug tumbled, Jaya said "serves you well." She also added, "I hope you double and fall."
After the incident, the actress faced huge backlash. In Navya Naveli Nanda’s podcast Jaya Bachchan reveals the reason why she became angry on media. Jaya said, "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?)'.
She further added, " When Navya asked if Jaya knew that this would happen when she decided to become an actor, she replied that she never 'catered to it' nor 'endorsed it'. She also said that it upsets her. I feel very strongly and it's not that it's today, I felt it from the day one. I don't mind if you talk about my work. You say, ‘She's a bad actor and she has done this film badly, she's not looking nice', because it's a visual media, don't mind. But the rest I do mind. Because people who see they see it for a second and then move on. They're onto something else.”
Jaya further speaking about the trolls these days said, "If people are going to earn their living by putting all my angry speeches on YouTube, Instagram and Twitter, I give a damn. I don't give a damn. You have opinion about them personally, you have an opinion about the work they do I understand. You criticise it, you cut it into pieces I accept.
She added, “You can say, 'She is a bad actor, a bad parliamentarian' but you have no business sitting on judgment of my personal character. 'She only knows how to get angry'. Angry about what? You're intruding, interfering in my personal when I'm walking somewhere, you're taking my picture. Why? Am I not a human being?" Jaya also said that the videos of the celebrities recorded are edited and then put out on different platforms. "What they take and what they put out are two different things. So you have the freedom to do it, what about my freedom?"
