Watch: Jaya Bachchan Snaps At Fans For Clicking Pics At Manoj Kumar's Prayer Meet
Veteran actress Jaya Bachchan once again made headlines for her temper—this time at a solemn occasion. During actor Manoj Kumar ’s prayer meet on Sunday, a brief altercation between Jaya and an elderly fan was caught on camera and quickly went viral.
In the video, Jaya is seen conversing with a few women when an elderly lady taps her on the shoulder. As Jaya turns, the lady's companion attempts to click a picture. The woman even reaches out for a handshake, but Jaya firmly brushes her off, visibly annoyed by the photo attempt. “At a prayer meet?” she snaps, clearly upset at the timing.
Reactions online were swift and divided. Some netizens criticized Jaya’s brusque manner, suggesting she could’ve handled it more gently. Others defended her, saying asking for selfies at a memorial service was simply disrespectful.
Comments poured in: “I don't think she was trying to meet but was trying to click a photo with Jaya. Funeral isn't the right place to click pics. Jaya can also talk politely,” said one. Another firmly added, “People trying to click pics in prayer meet should be kicked out. This time, Jaya is right.”
The prayer meet was held to honor Manoj Kumar, who passed away on Friday due to heart complications. The cinematic legend is remembered for iconic films like Shaheed, Upkar, and Kranti.
The event was attended by a host of industry stalwarts, including Aamir Khan, Asha Parekh, Rakesh Roshan, Subhash Ghai, Sonu Nigam, Udit Narayan, and many more, all gathered to pay their respects.
