Anjali Anand defends Jaya Bachchan’s public persona
Have you witnessed the playful side of Jaya Bachchan? What are your thoughts on public figures and their perceptions?
Jaya Bachchan frequently grabs attention in media for her direct responses to paparazzi and her candid demeanor in public. She often faces criticism, with many labeling her as “rude” due to her viral moments asking photographers to halt. Anjali Anand, her co-star from *Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani*, has stepped in to clarify that Jaya is, in fact, “the cutest person on the planet,” and emphasized how she is often misjudged.
In a recent podcast with Filmygyan, Anjali discussed the viral moments featuring Jaya and noted how easy it is for people to misinterpret her actions. She shared, “She’s a grandmother and deserves to be treated with respect. When she’s out with her granddaughter, she might not even recognize paparazzi. She lives in her own world, so if someone disrupts her family time, it’s understandable she’ll respond.”
Anjali fondly reminisced about their time on set, describing Jaya as a nurturing figure who would often share meals and jokes. “She would be the first to come and pull everyone’s leg on set,” Anand remarked. “She is far from the character people influence her to be. Why should she be charming to everyone? She has a close circle and shows warmth to those she knows.”
In *Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani*, Anand portrayed Jaya Bachchan’s granddaughter. The film, directed by Karan Johar, boasted a stellar cast including Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, and achieved considerable commercial success, grossing ₹357.5 crore globally.
Recently, Anjali Anand appeared in *Dabba Cartel*, well-received by audiences. Her upcoming project is *Dhamaal 4*, slated for release in 2026. As for Jaya, she was last seen in *Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani* and has yet to reveal details about her future work.
