A video from late actor Manoj Kumar's prayer meet has gone viral on the internet, once again highlighting Jaya Bachchan's rude behaviour and short-temperedness towards her fans and followers.

Jaya Bachchan Faces Netizens' Wrath for Her Short-Temperedness

The video has sparked a debate on how celebrities must treat their fans, more particularly, Jaya Bachchan, who always seems to be in a bad mood when it comes to obliging her fans for photos and autographs. The actress has been called out for her actions with the comment section of the video being filled with anger towards her.

On ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter), a user by the name of @rahuldeodhar said, “Maybe acceptable behavior for a super star but not for a politician...”, another user, @nishant_trivedi said, “She is pathetic, arrogant person!”. A third user by the ID of @vikram_lingam said, “What kind of example is this lady setting? Shame” and another one, @HitRunDFI said, “She is unfit to be in public spaces". A netizen, @TripathiMandal said, “Most unlady like… shameful behaviour and I guessed the family must be embarrassed too.”

‘She is Rightfully Upset’: Netizens Who Stood by the Actress

While most people criticised Jaya Bachchan for her behaviour, there were some fans, who stood by her and pointed out that she may have been upset because her private space was encroached and that a prayer meet is not the right place to click photographs with fans. 

A user by the name of @baijubawara76 said, “Need to confirm which place is this? If this is Manoj Kumar's funeral then it’s not proper place to take selfie. Anyone become angry.” Another netizen, @urwithRitzy said, “This seems to be a funeral (Manoj Kumar)...not a selfie taking place... anyone should know better.” A third X user, @aatank619 said, “I'd say she's rightfully upset. The person on the back started filming from a distance which could be considered as a private space and possibly didn't even ask her before doing so. They seems to be in the same area as her, they could very well have asked if she can have a photo.”
