Kangana Slams Jaya Bachchan's 'Gutter Remark' Speech in Parliament - Report

Actress Kangana Ranaut has recently responded to Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan’s remarks against Kangana and BJP MP Ravi Kishan made during Tuesday’s parliament session. Jaya condemned Kangana from comparing film industry to a ‘gutter.’

The actress tweeted in response, “Jaya ji would you say the same thing if in my place it was your daughter Shweta beaten, drugged and molested as a teenage, would you say the same thing if Abhieshek complained about bullying and harassment constantly and found hanging one day? Show compassion for us also.”

Jaya alleged that there is a conspiracy being orchestrated to defame the film industry. She said in the parliament, “People in the entertainment industry are being flogged by social media. People who made their names in the industry have called it a gutter. I completely disagree. I hope that the government tells such people not to use this kind of language.” 

Jaya responded to Kangana’s comment which she made earlier wherein she called the film industry a ‘gutter’ and told that 99% of the people who work in it have been exposed to drugs. Kangana wrote,“Like a famous choreographer once said ‘rape kiya toh kya hua roti to di na (so what if you’re violated, at least you got paid)’ is that what you implying? There are no proper HR departments in production houses where women can complain, no safety or insurances for those who risk their lives every day,no 8 hours shift regulations.”

Jaya said she was also shocked at Ravi Kishan’s remarks on Monday. “Just because there are some people, you can’t tarnish the image of the entire industry. I am ashamed that yesterday one of our members in Lok Sabha, who is from the film industry, spoke against it. It is a shame,” she stated. 

“Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, and the subsequent drugs-related investigation in the case, questions have been raised about certain alleged activities in the film industry. Sushant’s girlfriend, actor Rhea Chakraborty, has been arrested along with her brother Showik and four others for allegedly procuring drugs for the late actor,” Hindustan Times reported.
