Urfi Javed On Jaya Bachchan’s ‘Hope You Fall’ Remark To Paps: People Don’t Respect You Because You’re An Elder 

Veteran Bollywood actress Jaya Bachchan is known for her ‘not-so-good’ encounters with the paparazzi and the media. She has often made it clear that she does not want to be clicked, especially by the shutterbugs without permission. In the past, there have been several encounters where the actress-turned-politician has lashed out at the paparazzi for clicking her photos.

Now yet again, during the last day of Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai when she arrived with her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda at the venue, Jaya Bachchan was swarmed by several photographers as they gathered to click her photos. Quickly, she asked all of them about their media houses and organisations, but after watching a photographer accidentally stumble, the senior actress quipped, ‘serves you well’ and further added ‘I hope you double and fall.

Obviously, her insensitive remark didn’t go well with the people, who slammed her on social media for her ‘misbehaviour’. Adding to the list is none other than Urfi Javed, who posted a video of Jaya Bachchan where she is seen getting angry at a photographer. 

Sharing the video on her social media, Urfi mentioned how people respect others if they are nice, not because they are older or more powerful. “Did she just say ‘I hope you double and fall’? Please let’s not be like her, let’s hope all of us only rise. Be it the one behind the camera or in front. People won’t respect you because you’re older to them or more powerful, they’ll respect you if you’re nice to them,” she wrote in the caption.

Following this, in another story, Urfi talked about respecting the space for creating equal opportunities for all. “I know all human beings can never be at an equal level but at least we all can get equal opportunities to grow – for that we all need to raise our voices,” the note read.

Ever since the video surfaced on the internet, social media users have been lashing out at Jaya Bachchan for the same.
