Farhan Akhtar and Taapsee Pannu
After Jaya Bachchan slammed those who were tarnishing the image of the film industry, several Bollywood folk extended support to her. Taapsee Pannu posted, "Hitting the nail on its head and how. Yet again a woman from the industry spoke up... respect."
Dia Mirza, too, tweeted, "Jayaji is absolutely right. So grateful that she spoke up for our industry. We are always committed to contribute towards social upliftment and social good. The industry has always helped governments. This vilification of our film industry is unjust and condemnable."
