Watch: Jaya Bachchan gets angry for being called 'Jaya Amitabh Bachchan'; Social media users cite official document with full name

Veteran actor and Samajwadi Party MP Jaya created a stir in Parliament as she lost her temper when addressed as 'Jaya Amitabh Bachchan' by Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh.

A video showing Jaya Bachchan objecting to being called 'Jaya Amitabh Bachchan' has gone viral on social media. When Deputy Chairman Harivansh called her to speak, she responded sharply, “Sir, sirf Jaya Bachchan bolte to kaafi hojata” (It would’ve been enough to call me Jaya Bachchan). Harivansh pointed out that her name was officially registered that way, prompting Jaya to criticize the practice.

Jaya Bachchan's Reaction

Jaya Bachchan expressed her frustration, stating, “Ye jo hain kuch naya tarika hain ki mahilaayen apne pati ke naam se jaani jaye. Unka koi astitva nahi. Unki koi upalabdh hi nahi hain, apne mein aur astitva nahi hain. Ye jo naya shuru hua hain, I just…” (Some new methods have emerged that women have to be known by their husbands’ name. As if women have no identity. They have no achievements, no identity of their own. This new thing, I just…).

Public Reaction

The video has sparked a debate online, with opinions divided. Some users supported Jaya Bachchan, while others criticized her outburst in Parliament. One comment read, "She’s not wrong in any sense." Another comment suggested she was emulating Indira Gandhi, saying, "She is trying to act the character of Madam Indira Gandhi in Parliament as she may not get the role of Mother India 2 version of Nargis Movie." Another user remarked, "It's true that women should have their own identity but her arrogance and the way she reacted... Btw does she think she would be in Parliament if she wasn't the wife of Amitabh Bachchan?" Another recalled her past comment about Aishwarya Rai, stating, "Speak about women ka active and shit! Lekin KWK me bol rahi hai, She likes that her daughter in law, stays behind and quiet! Dogli aurat!"
