Now filmmaker Ashok Pandit is furious over this statement of Jaya Bachchan. He has described Jaya Bachchan’s attitude as full of arrogance and arrogance.
Filmmaker Ashok Pandit has written while criticizing Jaya Bachchan,
This statement of Jaya Bachchan ji against paparazzi smacks of arrogant and condescending attitude. Criticizing the aggressive coverage of some paparazzi is one thing, but demeaning the entire profession, that too with blatantly classist comments, is unbecoming of a senior member of our film industry and an MP.
Ashok Pandit further wrote, they are hardworking professionals, doing their work, and on most occasions they are called by the stars and their PR teams. So if they have so much objection to the paparazzi culture, it would be better to look within themselves first instead of getting caught up in this misdirected anger.
What was Jaya Bachchan’s full statement?
Jaya Bachchan recently became a part of We The Women Festival. During this, Barkha Dutt had asked him what kind of relationship he had with the media. In response, Jaya Bachchan said, ‘This is quite strange. My relationship with the media is very good, I am a product of the media, but my relationship with the paparazzi is zero.
Jaya Bachchan further became aggressive and said, ‘Have these people taken any training, they are representing the people of the country. Do you call them media? I come from media, my father was a journalist. I respect those people a lot. But these people who go out wearing dirty tight clothes, with a mobile in their hands, they think that they have a mobile, so they will take your picture, and will say anything, the kind of comments they make, what kind of people they are, where they come from, what kind of education they have, what their background is. Will he represent us?
In the conversation, Jaya Bachchan also said that her staff member had told her that you are the most hated woman on social media, in response to this she said that it does not matter to me.
