Kangana Ranaut does U-Turn on comments on Jaya Bachchan after calling her brand of feminism 'ugly'

Kangana Ranaut has been busy promoting Emergency, which is her next big movie on the life of Indira Gandhi. The actress has made comments on many Bollywood celebs, and the most recent one was on Jaya Bachchan. She had said that it was ugly to see people fighting like this when nature had made man and woman inherently different. She graced an event of News18 where she said that Jaya Bachchan is one of Bollywood’s best actors. 

She was quoted as saying, “Honestly, she is known for her short temper but honestly at the same time, I would like to give her the acknowledgement and due credit that in those times… Can you imagine what times were the 70s and in those times, she did films like Guddi, she gave the message of women empowerment.” 

Jaya Bachchan is known to respect her private space greatly, and netizens have often commented on her attitude. But Kangana Ranaut said she finds her to be a very dignified woman in the film industry. She further said, “The way she carries herself in the Rajya Sabha… I feel very good that there is such good representation from the film industry.”

After the demise of Sushant Singh Rajput, Kangana Ranaut had slammed Bollywood as a hotbed of drug and abuse. Jaya Bachchan had called her out in the Parliament. When she was asked about that, Kangana Ranaut said, “If we say something to each other… I feel these are our elders, if they say something, it’s not bad.” 

Jaya Bachchan slammed Jagdeep Dhankar in the Parliament after he addressed her as Jaya Amitabh Bachchan. The video went viral on social media. Kangana Ranaut said it was shameful to see men and women fighting over basic differences between men and women, and terming it as ‘discrimination’. She said the concept of feminism had taken an ugly turn and ruined the concept of family.
