Taapsee Pannu, Farhan Akhtar, Sonam Kapoor stand in support of Jaya Bachchan’s Rajya Sabha speech

While Ravi Kishan and Kangana Ranaut didn’t reacted in a positive way to Jaya Bachchan’s Rajya Sabha speech, many Bollywood celebs like Sonam Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, Anubhav Sinha, Farhan Akhtar and others came out in support of the veteran actress. Jaya Bachchan took an indirect dig at Ravi Kishan’s comment about drug addiction in Bollywood and said, “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. 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 govt tells such people not to use this kind of language.”

Lauding Jaya’s words, Taapsee Pannu wrote on Twitter, “For we have always stood by the initiatives, causes and awareness campaigns. It’s time for payback. Hitting the nail on its head and how ! yet again a woman from the industry spoke up #Respect.” On the other hand, Richa Chadha wrote, “Mrs. Jaya Bachchan started her career with legend Satyajit Ray and then went on to redefine Hindi cinema. Watch this to see the face of fearlessness. The ‘agents’ and khurchans participating in the deliberate vilification of Bollywood will self-destruct like bhasmasurs. #respect.”

Earlier Ravi Kishan said, “Drug addiction is in film industry too. Several people have been apprehended, NCB is doing very good work. I urge central govt to take strict action, apprehend the culprits soon, give them befitting punishment & bring an end to conspiracy of neighbouring countries.”
