Known for her fiery temper with paparazzi, Jaya Bachchan is now making headlines for a rare moment of calm. An old video of the veteran actress and politician smiling, posing, and even defending her past outbursts has gone viral—leaving the internet amused and calling it her 'hriday parivartan.'
Explaining her side
Amid heavy trolling and backlash, a video of the veteran actress clarifying her outrage at paparazzi has gone viral. The clip, from Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla’s event, shows Jaya stepping out and spotting photographers waiting for her. Unlike her past run-ins, she slowed down, posed for the cameras, and then walked up to explain herself. She said she is open to photo-ops when things are organized, but strongly dislikes it when personal moments are captured secretly without her consent.
In the video, when a paparazzo asked his colleague to stop recording her casual chat, Jaya smiled and told him to relax before continuing, saying she was fine with being photographed when she was prepared. As designer Abu Jani joined her on the red carpet, she added with a laugh that when she isn’t ready and photos are still taken, 'rang nikalte hai,' hinting at how unflattering those candid shots can be.
Netizens react with jokes
The internet is having a field day over what many are calling the 'hriday parivartan' of Jaya Bachchan. Social media users flooded the viral clip with witty remarks, joking that her change in behaviour must have come after some stern advice from her superstar husband. While one user wrote, 'Amitabh Bachchan ne class li hai,' another one added, 'Puri family ne class li hai.' A third added, 'Finally dimag aa gaya inke paas.'
On the professional front, Jaya remains active in politics, while on the big screen, she was last seen in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani.
