A seemingly routine moment outside Delhi’s Constitution Club turned into a full-blown online spectacle when a video of veteran actress and Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan surfaced, showing her visibly agitated after a fan tried to take a selfie without her consent. The 32-second clip, which quickly went viral, shows Jaya pushing the man aside and sternly saying, "Kya kar rahe ho aap?"—an outburst that has reignited debates around celebrity behavior, personal boundaries, and public conduct.
But what really blew the incident out of proportion was the reaction from actress-turned-BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, who didn’t hold back. In a scathing Instagram Story posted on July 12, 2025, Kangana shared the video along with a fiery caption targeting both Jaya Bachchan and her political affiliation with the Samajwadi Party.
“Most spoilt and privileged woman. People put up with her tantrums/nonsense only because she is Amitabh Bachchan ji’s wife. That Samajwadi topi looks like a rooster comb, while she looks like a fighting cock!! Such disgrace and shame.”
Kangana’s remarks instantly divided the internet. While some applauded her for calling out what they perceived as repeated arrogance from the veteran actress, others criticized the language and tone, calling it unnecessarily disrespectful.
This isn't the first time Jaya Bachchan has made headlines for her interactions with fans or the media. Known for her disdain towards paparazzi culture, she has been filmed on multiple occasions snapping at photographers or reprimanding overenthusiastic fans. The latest incident, however, hits differently—partly due to her status as a public servant and partly because it triggered a political and personal backlash.
Critics argue that her consistent reactions reflect a sense of entitlement, particularly unbecoming of a sitting MP. Netizens poured into comment sections, with some saying she “needs therapy” while others ironically said she, not her husband Amitabh Bachchan, deserves the title of “angry young (wo)man.”
Kangana Ranaut’s sharp attack wasn’t limited to personal critique. By mocking the Samajwadi Party’s iconic red cap—likening it to a "rooster comb"—she effectively turned the episode into political ammunition. The visual of Jaya in her red cap became the centerpiece of Kangana’s jibe, painting her as an embodiment of “fighting cock” aggression.
Some observers see this as a well-timed political move by Kangana, who has often used her social media presence to stir political commentary under the veil of celebrity feuds. Her tagging of Amitabh Bachchan in the rant, though subtle, was also picked up by users, with some calling her “unhinged,” and others accusing her of dragging unrelated family members into the controversy.
Whether you see it as a justified reaction to personal space invasion or another episode of celebrity entitlement, the Jaya-Kangana spat has clearly touched a nerve. With both actresses now firmly entrenched in political arenas, the drama no longer stays on-screen—and neither does the fallout.
One thing’s clear: In this clash of stardom and statesmanship, every move is under the public eye—and the next “viral moment” is only ever a selfie away.
