Actress and Member of Parliament Jaya Bachchan's temper is not new. The veteran actress has never shied away from speaking her mind or reprimanding people when she feels it is necessary. On Sunday, the actress was seen at the prayer meet of late Bollywood star Manoj Kumar. A video from the event featuring Jaya Bachchan has gone viral on social media, where she can be seen getting upset with a fan for recording her.

Jaya Bachchan gets angry at fan


In the video, Jaya Bachchan is seen standing at the venue among other attendees when she feels a tap on her shoulder. She turns around to find an elderly woman dressed in a green saree. The lady’s touch seems to have startled Jaya, who turns back and firmly holds the woman’s hand, pulling it aside. Then, Jaya notices a man—likely the elderly woman’s husband—recording the moment on his phone. Clearly irritated, she says something to him before walking away.


The video quickly went viral on social media, with netizens sharing their views on the incident. While some defended Jaya, stating that it was inappropriate to record at a prayer meet without consent, others felt the actress was rude in her response.
