After Jaya Bachchan's Parliament speech, security outside Bachchans' home beefed up
New Delhi : Security has been beefed up at Jaya Bachchan's home a day after she spoke in parliament against what she called attempts to criticize the film industry with allegations of drug abuse related to the Sushant Singh Rajput death investigation.
Mumbai Police has provided the additional security outside Jalsa, the Bachchans' iconic bungalow in Juhu. The police called it a precautionary measure amid brutal trolling of Jaya Bachchan on social media after her speech.
Hitting out at actor and BJP MP Ravi Kishan over his comments on drugs in Bollywood, Jaya Bachchan, a Samajwadi Party member, said in Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, "Just because of a few people, you cannot tarnish the whole industry... Jis thaali me khaate hain usi me chched karte hain," she said.
Even as Jaya Bachchan, received tremendous support from many in Bollywood after her fiery speech, a large section of social media users criticised her statements, with hashtags such as #ShameOnJayaBachchan trending on Twitter.
Actor Kangana Ranaut also hit out at the veteran actor, asking if she would react in the same manner if her daughter or son were affected.
Today, Kangana attacked Jaya Bachchan once again in a post in Hindi, "Which plate has Jaya-ji and her industry given?... I taught this industry feminism, decorated the plate with patriotic and feminist films. This is my plate, Jaya-ji, not yours."
