Veteran Bollywood actress and Rajya Sabha member Jaya Bachchan has been on the receiving end of trolling because of her rude behaviour towards the paparazzi. Over the years, she has been mocked for speaking without mincing her words leading to many calling her out for her rude behaviour. Now, years later, an old video from her father-in-law Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s 80th birthday celebration has resurfaced on the internet, which has again irked the netizens.
In the video uploaded on YouTube, the 75-year-old actress is seen sitting with her husband Amitabh Bachchan, mother-in-law Teji Bachchan and her father-in-law. The veteran actor is seen talking to his father and asks him about his thoughts on turning 80 years old. The renowned poet goes on to state, “Aasi mein lapsi.” Surprised by her husband’s answer, Teji asks him what lapsi means, to which he states that only UP people would understand the meaning behind it.

As the video comes to an end, Jaya piques that what should they say when he turns a 100-years-old. She goes on to make a mean comment on his age by adding that when he turns 100, he might not be able to speak. Quoted by BollywoodShaadis, she says, “Ki jab Aap 100 ke hoge toh aap toh nai bol payege na. Toh hum bolege na.” Teji Bachchan is seen adding that why wouldn’t he speak.
Well, it seems like the mean comment by the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani actress has not gone down well with the netizens. Many took to the comment section of the post to condemn her for her statement. One wrote, “Great regards for the great Bachchan family but Jaya Bachchan was ,is and always be a baseless character in family.she always speaks rubbish.” Another wrote, “What's wrong with Jaya?
