Bollywood veteran actress and Samajwadi Party leader Jaya Bachchan on Tuesday slammed people and celebrities defaming the Indian entertainment industry i.e. Bollywood after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput. Jaya gave a Zero Hour notice to discuss the issue of the film industry being defamed.
In a veiled attack on Kangana Ranaut, Jaya said that people who have made their names in the film industry have called it a gutter. I completely disagree and disassociate from it and I hope the government tells these who have made their earning, name, and fame in the industry to stop using such language. There are people in the industry who are some highest taxpayers, they are still being harassed, all kinds of promises are being made to the film industry that has never been kept.
Now, Kangana Ranaut has come up with a hard-hitting reply. In a series of tweet, Kangana slammed Jaya Bachchan. The actress wrote, "Jaya ji would you say the same thing if in my place it was your daughter Shweta beaten, drugged and molested as a teenage, would you say the same thing if Abhieshek complained about bullying and harassment constantly and found hanging one day? Show compassion for us also.
Like a famous choreographer once said “ रेप किया तो क्या हुआ रोटी तो दी ना” is that what you implying? There are no proper HR departments in production houses where women can complain, no safety or insurances for those who risk their lives every day,no 8 hours shift regulations.
This mentality that gareeb ko roti mila toh that’s enough need to change,gareeb ko roti ke saath samman aur payaar bhi chahiye, I have a full list of reforms I want from centre government for workers and junior artists,some day if I meet honourable Prime Minister I will discuss," added Kangana.
