Actress-politician Kangana Ranaut, who will be next seen in Emergency, recently grabbed headlines when she called veteran actress and MP Jaya Bachchan ‘arrogant’ over being called by her complete name in the assembly. However, the Manikarnika star seems to have left everything behind as she recently called Jaya Bachchan a dignified actress. “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,” said Kangana while talking to News18. Earlier in an interview with Fever FM, Kangana had slammed Jaya and said, “A man is a man, and a woman is a woman, and togetherness is a beautiful happening.
These are petty issues. In the name of feminism, people are going in an ugly direction..
. Society is going into an ugly direction,” the actress added. Calling Jaya’s behaviour as ‘arrogance’, Kangana asserted, “This arrogance hasn’t spared even the beautiful bond within families.
Humans should embrace each other and not dissect each other with this sort of harshness. People are simply flaring up with the name coming up like they’re getting a panic attack or something. And when they say, ‘My identity is taken over, I am destroyed’ I just feel sad.
” Rajya Sabha Chairman and Vice-President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar during the ongoing monsoon session addressed the actress by her husband’s name . Jaya responded, “Sir, I hope you know the meaning of Amitabh. I mean, I am proud of the association with my marriage and my husband and of his achievements.
But this is a new drama started by you all. This did not use to happen before.” The VP informed the actress that there is a provision to change the name on the election certificate and reminded her that the “entire country is proud” of her husband Amitabh Bachchan’s achievements.
“However, Jaya Ji, the name that appears in the election certificate is what is used, and you can get the name changed; there is a provision for that,” he added..
