In another video, Jaya Bachchan could be heard explaining why she gets angry at the paparazzi. She says, “Kya hai, jab aisa hota hai na (the public gathering) toh main photo dene ke liye tyaar hoon. Magar jab personal cheez hoti hai tab aap chupke chupke photo lete ho, mujhe acha nahi lagta.”
Last year, appearing on granddaughter Navya Naveli’s maiden podcast ‘What The Hell Navya?’, Jaya explained she ‘hated’ that the paparazzi interfered in her personal space. “I despise the people who interfere in your personal life and fill their stomachs by selling those products. I hate it, I’m disgusted with such people. I always tell them, I say, ‘Aapko sharam nahi aati hai (Don’t you feel ashamed?)” she said, adding that she has had an issue with the paparazzi culture for years now.
