‘Who Said That?’: Jaya Bachchan Reacts To Paparazzi’s ‘You Look Nice’ Comment

Veteran actress and Rajya Sabha MP Jaya Bachchan, often perceived as stern in her interactions with the media, surprised fans with a lighthearted reaction to a paparazzo’s compliment at a recent event.

An undated video captured the moment when a photographer greeted her with a ‘namaste,’ to which she politely responded in kind. When another paparazzo remarked that she looked nice, Jaya Bachchan’s response was both unexpected and charming. “Huh? Who said that? You did? Wow, nice,” she replied.

The playful exchange caught netizens’ attention, offering a glimpse into a softer side of the actress who is often seen annoyed by the paps.

Known for her illustrious career in films like Guddi, Sholay, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Jaya Bachchan has long been a towering figure in Indian cinema. However, her public interactions with paparazzi have often been scrutinised, with some labelling her as impolite.

The recent video challenges this narrative, showing her engaging with the media with humor and warmth.

Despite her occasional discomfort with paparazzi, those who know Jaya Bachchan personally paint a different picture. In a podcast last year, a senior journalist defended Jaya’s public image, describing her as a warm person. According to Times of India, the journalist recounted an incident where Jaya’s reaction to a camera flash that hurt her eyes was misconstrued by the media, blowing the moment out of proportion. Such instances, the journalist argued, have unfairly shaped a negative perception of the actress, who is known for her grace and professionalism in private settings.
