Why Jaya Bachchan Reacted This Way?
The video that surfaced on social media is from a recent Rajya Sabha session. When Deputy Chairperson Harivansh Narayan addressed Jaya Bachchan as ‘Jaya Amitabh Bachchan’, the actress immediately reacted. The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani star stood up and said only Jaya Bachchan would have been enough for the introduction. However, the chairperson went on to justify that he only said the husband’s name because it was mentioned in the document. Jaya Bachchan went on to object to the new rule in which a woman’s identity will only be limited to that of her husband because society dismisses the woman’s achievements and an identity of her own.
Well, many people on social media thought that Jaya Bachchan overreacted in the situation and that Harivansh Narayan only read what the official documents had. They even called her a difficult and impossible lady.
