What did Jaya Bachchan say about photographers
Jaya Bachchan has a history of being at loggerheads with paparazzi. At various instances, she ignored them and even blasted at them. On November 30, Jaya was seen attending a panel discussing her relationship with the paparazzi. She said, ‘It is strange. I am the product of the media, but my relationship with the paparazzi is zero. Who are these people? Are they trained to represent the people of this country? You call them media? I come from the media! My father was a journalist. I have tremendous respect for such people.’
