Honestly, she's known for her short temper, but at the same time, I'd like to give her the acknowledgement and due credit that in those times...
you can imagine that in the 1970s, at a time when women had to roast their skin in the (harsh) lighting, she did films like Guddi back then. 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, I feel very good that we have this kind of representation from the film industry,” Kangana said. Kangana also addressed her past attack on Jaya Bachchan, back in 2020, the latter said in Parliament that the people employed by the film industry are themselves attacking it after the events following the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. “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,” Kangana said. Jaya Bachchan's career Jaya Bachchan made her debut as an actor in Satyajit Ray's Mahanagar (1963).
She then made her Hindi film debut with Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Guddi in 1971.

She returned to mainstream Hindi cinema in the early 2000s with Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
