A video featuring veteran actress and Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan has gone viral across social media platforms, stirring a fresh controversy. The clip, reportedly recorded during an event at the Constitution Club in Delhi, appears to show Bachchan pushing away a man who was allegedly trying to take a selfie with her.
The brief footage has triggered a wave of reactions online, with netizens divided over her actions. While some defended her right to personal space, others criticized what they perceived as her dismissive attitude. Adding fuel to the fire, BJP MP and actress Kangana Ranaut took to social media to strongly criticize Bachchan, reigniting their long-standing differences.
Kangana Ranaut Reacts Sharply on Social Media
Kangana, known for her outspoken views, shared the viral video on her Instagram Story, unleashing a scathing attack on the veteran actress. “The most arrogant and entitled woman ever,” she wrote. “People tolerate her tantrums and nonsense only because she is Amitabh Bachchan’s wife.”
In a follow-up post, Ranaut also mocked Bachchan’s association with the Samajwadi Party, taking aim at the party’s signature red cap. “That Samajwadi topi looks like a rooster’s comb on her head. And she herself looks like a rooster,” the post read.
