NEW DELHI: A video of Samajwadi Party MP and veteran actor Jaya Bachchan shoving a man who tried to take a selfie with her at the Constitution Club in Delhi on Tuesday has gone viral, drawing sharp criticism online. Among those reacting was actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, who took to Instagram to call Bachchan the “most spoilt and privileged woman.”Sharing the video on her Instagram stories, Kangana wrote, “Most spoilt and privileged woman. People put up with her tantrums/non sense just because she is @amitabhbachchan ji’s wife. That Samajwadi topi looks like a rooster comb, while she looks like a rooster cock!! Such disgrace and shame.”

The incident took place while Bachchan was accompanied by fellow parliamentarian, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi. The clip shows Bachchan pushing the man before Chaturvedi turns to look around and then walks into the club.This is not the first time Kangana has criticised Bachchan. In 2020, after the Sholay actor described the film industry as a “gutter,” Kangana had said, “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 Abhishek complained about bullying and harassment constantly and found hanging one day? Show compassion for us also.”
