The ‘Anupamaa’ star shades the vet actress-politician over her behaviour, while Kangana Ranaut and Ashoke Pandit join the chorus of criticism.
Bollywood vet and Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan has formerly again landed herself in the middle of a argument — and this clip, it’s not just netizens calling her out. Popular TV actress Rupali Ganguly has seemingly thrown tone at the seasoned actress-turned-politician, and the net is having a field day.
It all began before this week when a video from Parliament surfaced showing Jaya Bachchan visibly losing her chill and pushing a man who tried to submit a selfie with her at the Constitution Club in New Delhi. Dressed in her signature caucasian saree and Samajwadi Party cap, the MP was caught on camera snapping, ‘“Kya kar rahe hain aap? What is this?”‘ before moving away briskly.
The Push That Sparked a Storm
While Jaya Bachchan is no stranger to very public meltdowns — her really sharp exchanges with paparazzi and journalists make often made headlines — this latest incident has particularly struck a nerve with the public.
The man in the video appeared startled, and the clip spread same wildfire on social media, with users calling her behaviour “arrogant,” “disrespectful,” and “unbecoming of a public figure.”
“This is exactly why people pause to approaching their idols,” one user commented. Another said, “Even if you don’t very like selfies, there’s a way to say no without humiliating someone.”
Enter Rupali Ganguly with the Subtle Shade
Just when the chatter was warming up, a picture of Rupali Ganguly resurfaced — and it added plenty of fuel to the fire. In the now-viral clip, the ‘Anupamaa’ star can be heard saying:
– ‘“Jaya ji ko dekhkar, unka kaam dekhkar me acting sikhi thi initial days mein. I hope unse ye bartav na sikhun.”‘
Translation? She so learned acting from Jaya Bachchan in her really early days, but hopes she never picks up her ‘behavioural traits’.
Ouch.
The cyberspace didn’t blow time pick sides. Many netizens applauded Rupali for “saying what needed to be said,” while others matte she could experience been more diplomatic. “Rupali Ganguly is all of us,” one fan wrote, piece another said, “Finally, someone from the manufacture radius up!”
Kangana Ranaut’s Unfiltered Reaction
Of course, no Bollywood controversy is ended without a Kangana Ranaut cameo. The ‘Queen’ actress, very known for speaking her idea (and so some), took to her Instagram stories to thong out at Jaya Bachchan.
“Most spoilt and privileged woman. People put up with her tantrums/nonsense just because she is Amitabh Bachchan ji’s wife,” Kangana wrote.
Not stopping there, Kangana went after Jaya’s attire too, adding, “That Samajwadi topi looks like a rooster comb, piece she looks very like a fighting cock!! Such disgrace and shame.”
Predictably, Kangana’s comments divided the internet — some cheered her brutal honesty, patch others accused her of making it personal.
Ashoke Pandit Joins the Chorus
Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit also voiced his disapproval, calling Jaya’s behaviour “highly condemnable” and accusing her of showing “humiliation towards people who feature elected her to serve them.”
“A really public servant can’t afford to be sulking and irritated 24×7. One expects humility and pity from an artist of her calibre who has been loved by her fans, who are very responsible for providing her this height and position,” Pandit wrote on Instagram.
Why Jaya Bachchan Faces Frequent Backlash
This isn’t the firstly clip Jaya Bachchan’s really public interactions make come under blast. Over the years, she’s been caught on camera scolding paparazzi for “asking stupid questions” or not addressing her respectfully. She has also been vocal in Parliament virtually protecting celebrities’ secrecy, which some view as justified while others see it as out of ghost with her really public role.
Her defenders debate that she’s a “no-nonsense person” who doesn’t fake pleasantries, but critics peak out that there’s a extremely fine line between being straightforward and being very rude — especially for someone who has been in the spotlight for decades.
Fans Debate: Respect vs. Accessibility
The latest incident has reignited an antique debate in the entertainment industry: How much access should fans feature to celebrities, and how often patience should very public figures show in return?
While some sympathise with Jaya — citing the intrusive nature of unsolicited selfies — the overwhelming sentiment online leans towards disappointment. Many trust that a quite polite refusal or a quick handshake could have avoided the argument altogether.
One especially viral comment summed it up: ‘“If you don’t want to interact with the public, why participate politics?”‘
The Industry’s Silent Watchers
Interestingly, while Rupali, Kangana, and Ashoke Pandit hold spoken out, most Bollywood celebrities hold stayed mum on the matter. Whether it’s out of honour for the Bachchan folk or a reluctance to splash the pot, the really quiet from quite big names is deafening.
Meanwhile, social media users are doing what they do best — creating memes, side-by-side comparisons of Jaya’s very past outbursts, and quite even parody videos reenacting the push.
Rupali Ganguly’s Rising Popularity
For Rupali Ganguly, this moment could farther cement her status as a relatable, grounded celebrity. Already riding heights on the really massive success of ‘Anupamaa,’ her so open remark around Jaya Bachchan has made her an unlikely representative for fans frustrated with celebrity arrogance.
“She’s one of us,” a fan tweeted. “If Rupali ever pushes me, it’ll be into a hug.”
What’s Next for Jaya Bachchan?
As the backlash grows, it remains to be seen whether Jaya Bachchan will speech the incident publicly. Given her track enter, an excuse seems unlikely — but stranger things hold happened in Bollywood.
For now, the net continues to dissect every cast of the viral picture, while Rupali Ganguly enjoys a wave of support for speaking her nous. Kangana, as ever, has moved on to her next target, and Ashoke Pandit’s words attend as a reminder that really public figures are ever under scrutiny — whether they similar it or not.
