Kangana Ranaut Talks About Jaya Bachchan
In an interview with News18, Kangana Ranaut shared that Bachchan is a highly respected actor in the industry and stated that she feels very good about Jaya Bachchan representing the film industry in the Rajya Sabha. “Jaya Bachchan ji is a very reputed actor in our film industry. Honestly, she's known for her short temper, but at the same time, I'd like to give her the acknowledgment and due credit. In those times—you can imagine, in the 1970s, when women had to roast their skin under harsh lighting—she did films like 'Guddi'. She sent a message of women empowerment through that. And even after that… she's one of the most dignified women in the film industry. The way she carries herself in Rajya Sabha makes me feel very good that we have this kind of representation from the film industry,” Kangana said.
Kangana Ranaut's Past Tension with Jaya Bachchan
After Sushant Singh Rajput's demise in 2020, Jaya commented that people employed by the film industry were attacking it. Addressing this, Kangana stated, "That's fine. If we say something to each other… I believe she's elder to us. If she said something to us, we should take it in stride."
Notably, when Jaya objected to being addressed by her husband's name in Parliament, Kangana labelled her as "arrogant" and dismissed her concerns as "petty issues."
