Soon as Jaya Bachchan appeared in parliament to deliver an impassioned speech calling out the criticism that has come in the way of the Hindi film industry in the past couple of months, a number of varied responses appeared across social media platforms.
Now, the hashtag – #ShameOnJayaBachchan is trending on Twitter, as people are calling her out for neglecting the struggles and pleas of those who have spoken about their personal experiences in the film industry, or those who have called out recent revelations pertaining to drug-abuse within showbiz.
Fans of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, have also called out the actress-turned-politician, for not speaking in the same fervour, about the passing of the ‘Kedarnath’ actor and all the allegations that have been made by his family in that regard.
A number of people on Twitter have alleged the yesteryear star of being partial, accusing her of ‘selective outrage’:
Here are some of those reactions:
1)

You have no choice dear BUT to become that woman defending the dirty and gutter habits of your industry, because you enjoy the benefits and money. It takes immense courage and honesty to NOT become like her and stand up for all the right causes and truth! #ShameOnJayaBachchan

#ShameOnJayaBachchan Where was Jayaji when Sushant was murdered? Why did she not speak up for Kangana when her office was demolished ? Why was she quiet when Anuj was arrested ? Did you come forward when an Vertran Army personnel was beaten by Sena Goons.?Why did she wake up now https://t.co/w1uPDxWzW6

Bachchan's only take advantage of people and do not bother to ask about their well being after you have utilized their resources. https://t.co/ojOSA9RKhl— Mani Infra And Strategic Solution (@miasslko) September 15, 2020
Apparently the debate has turned so heated right now, one is certain to get burned if they put their hand in it.
Jaya Bachchan was clearly no spared by internet, this time around!
