More details

Jaya, who has often spoken about her discomfort with paparazzi clicking her pictures at different events. Over the years, there have been several occasions when she has criticised and schooled mediapersons at events and gatherings. Earlier, she had joined granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda on the latest episode Limelight & Lemons on her podcast What The Hell Navya, and said that the videos of the celebrities recorded are edited and then put out on different platforms. “What they take and what they put out are two different things. So you have the freedom to do it, what about my freedom?”

She also said, “I know some people make a comment so that they know there will be a reaction, then there will be a discussion, then there will be a tu-tu-main-main (argument). So there are some celebrities who thrive on such things.”

Jaya was last seen in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023), directed by Karan Johar. The film stars Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in lead roles.
