Controversial Actor Kangana Ranaut Criticizes Jaya Bachchan for Recent Selfie Incident, Labels Her 'Unentitled' and 'Pampered'
=========================================================================================
In the world of Indian politics and entertainment, the ongoing feud between actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut and veteran actress-MP Jaya Bachchan has once again taken centre stage. The latest incident, a viral selfie attempt gone awry at the Constitution Club in Delhi, has added fuel to the fire.
The incident occurred when a fan tried to take a selfie with Jaya Bachchan, a Samajwadi Party MP, during a political event. Jaya lost her temper and pushed the man back, an action that was captured on camera and quickly went viral.
Kangana Ranaut, a BJP MP, was quick to comment on the situation, taking to her Instagram account to express her thoughts. In a sharp and highly personal post, Kangana called Jaya a "spoilt and privileged woman" and a "fighting cock," accusing people of tolerating Jaya’s tantrums only because she is Amitabh Bachchan's wife.
This is not the first time Kangana and Jaya have clashed. In 2024, a notable incident occurred in the Rajya Sabha where Jaya and the Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar had a disagreement regarding the use of her marital association with Amitabh Bachchan. This incident, while more formal, illustrates Jaya's strong persona in politics.
Kangana's criticism often extends beyond this incident, as she has previously taken digs at Jaya, including labeling the film industry as a "gutter," implying hypocrisy among established actors like Jaya. The ongoing exchange between the two is reflective of their political rivalry and contrasting public personas—Kangana’s outspoken BJP alignment versus Jaya’s veteran, more reserved Samajwadi Party affiliation.
Interestingly, the selfie incident has also provided an opportunity for Kangana to express her appreciation for the government's action against illegal OTT apps. Kangana has previously welcomed the government's decision to ban OTT platforms such as Ullu, ALTT, and Desiflix, praising it as important for preserving the country's culture and the future of youngsters.
In a recent interview with IANS, Kangana questioned Jaya about her reaction if her daughter Shweta had experienced certain traumatic events. She also reshared the video of the incident on her Instagram stories.
Priyanka Chaturvedi, a fellow parliamentarian and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader, was present with Jaya during the incident. The feud between Kangana and Jaya, with its deep roots and recent escalations, serves as a reminder of the complexities and dynamics of Indian politics and celebrity culture.
