Amid the controversy surrounding the demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, the subsequent investigation in the case and the arrest of actress Rhea Chakraborty, several questions about alleged activities in the film industry have been raised.
Veteran actor and Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan on charged that the film industry was being defamed and slammed and those from the industry itself were indulging in it, saying they are biting the hand that feed them. Jaya, alleging a ‘conspiracy to defame the film industry’, said on the second day of the Monsoon Session in Parliament. Previously, Kangana had called the film industry a ‘gutter’ and alleged that 99% of the people who work in it have been exposed to drugs.

While several citizens and celebrities did not agree with Jaya Bachchan and the comments she made in her speech, the most distasteful comment has come from none other than Kangana Ranaut who took this as an opportunity to personally attack Jaya Bachchan. Kangana tweeted,
“Jaya Ji would you say the same thing if in my place it was your daughter Shweta beaten, drugged and molested as a teenager, would you say the same thing if Abhishek complained about bullying and harassment constantly and found hanging one day? Show compassion for us also”
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 🙏 https://t.co/gazngMu2bA

This war of words between Kangana Ranaut and the industry has evidently fallen to a new low. Dragging Jaya Bachchan’s children, Shweta and Abhishek Bachchan into this was uncalled for. Many on the internet, have been pin-pointing how you cannot justify wrong with another wrong.
There were several netizens who found Kangana Ranaut’s distasteful, Below, are some of their reactions,
U knw what kangana
U need to learn etiquettes & get some counselling to choose correct words when u speak
U began the fight in d name of justice for sushant & slowly u slipped in ur own benefits and personal grudges.
Compassion is what lended to some1 suffering. Atleast not u!!— नीर’रस (@neeraj__pahuja) September 15, 2020
That doesn’t prove Kangana an innocent or Jhasi ki rani..
It doesn’t make any sense to justify a wrong with another wrong.— ✨ Abhishek Khare ✨ (@imabhishek_real) September 15, 2020
Kangana stop spitting poison. You have not helped the SSR case and have taken away all the attention. You have made this case about you and your personal vendetta. It’s pathetic!! You’ve left Mumbai, please also leave Bollywood.

Who in her Family is Jaya trying to protect ?
If Jaya was so concerned about Bollywood people who give money & support natural calamities; why didn’t she raise a voice for Sushant who didn’t even care to publicise what all he did as a social cause ?
What a Shame !
