Now reacting to the incident which passed off in the course of the violence in May, Jaya Bachchan expressed her grief. She advised the media, “I felt so bad, I couldn’t see the entire video. I was ashamed. This happened in May but went viral now. But, no one has said a single word in sympathy. This is about women’s safety. But you say things like we have selected 50 per cent women for a panel. Hanthi ke daat hai (This is like Elephant’s teeth).”
She also said, “It’s very irritating. Every day one thing or the opposite is going on with girls. In UP we do not get to know what occurs there, Yogi Adityanath Ji by no means says. What is going on in all the nation with girls? Such humiliation. It’s very saddening.” Several different actors together with Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Kiara Advani, Shilpa Shetty and Anupam Kher amongst others have additionally condemned the incident.
