Veteran actress Jaya Bachchan often makes the headline for her ‘rude’ behaviour with the media. Most of the time whenever she is spotted during an outing, she gets brutally trolled by the netizens for her brutal comments against the paparazzi. While she remains unapologetic about it, for the past few months some celebrities have spoken against her and others have supported her. Konkana Sen Sharma too has revealed that she loves how the actress often scolds the paps.
During her interview with ETimes, while reminiscing about working with the veteran in Laaga Chunari Mein Daag (2007), Sharma revealed that she loves Jaya’s no-nonsense attitude. Quoted by Hindustan Times, she said, “I love her attitude even today when she scolds the paparazzi. I love her no-nonsense attitude. I love the way she carries herself with so much dignity, grace and humour. She is one of the gems.” ALSO READ: Jaya Bachchan on Aishwarya Rai- Madhuri Dixit comparison: Veteran Actress Lashes Out At Kunal Nayyar; Says He Has ‘Badi Gandi Zubaan’
The 43-year-old actress recalled how she always felt loved and protected when she was with Bachchan. She explained how since she did the movie early in her career and it was shot in Benaras for a long time, she would often get homesick. It was one of the longest outdoor shoots. She recalled how the actress, who recently celebrated her 75th birthday, had taken her under her wings.
