On Koffee with Karan Season 6, Abhishek and Shweta once clarified that Jaya Bachchan’s doesn’t have any sort of anger issues nor she is rude, but has claustrophobia. Explaining what triggers their mother, they said, “She gets very claustrophobic when there are too many people around her. She also doesn’t like it when people take her pictures without asking her. She comes from that school of thought.”
Meanwhile, Abhishek had hilariously shared that those papped videos are actually his guilty pleasure. He also admitted that whenever the family steps out together, they silently pray that there is no media.

What did Kangana Ranaut and Ashoke Pandit say?
Kangana Ranaut lashed out at Jaya Bachchan for her aggressive response. Taking to her Instagram stories, The Emergency actress wrote, “Most spoilt and privileged woman. People put up with her tantrums/nonsense just because she is Amitabh Bachchan ji’s wife. That Samajwadi topi looks like a rooster comb, while she looks like a fighting cock!! Such disgrace and shame.”
Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit also shared on his Instagram handle that the reaction was “highly condemnable” and showed “humiliation towards people who have elected her to serve them.” He also said, “A public servant can’t afford to be sulking and irritated 24×7.
