Jaya Bachchan finally reveals why she is disgusted by the media; says, 'I despise people who interfere in our personal life'

Jaya Bachchan is more often in news for her angry encounters with the paparazzi. While celebs are known to be cordial with the paps and obliging for pictures, Jaya chooses to keep her distance and ends up reprimanding those clicking her pictures and approaching for selfies. The veteran actress has finally opened up on granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda's podcast What The Hell Navya and revealed why she feels so strongly about the media Jaya said on the podcast that she hates it. "I despise the people who interfere in your personal life and fill their stomachs by selling those products. I hate it, I'm disgusted with such people. I always tell them, I say, ‘Aapko sharam nahi aati hai (Don’t you feel ashamed?)'," she said. Navya asked her nani if she knew this would happen when she decided to become an actor, Jaya replied that she never 'catered to it' nor 'endorsed it'. She also said that it upsets her. "I feel very strongly and it's not that it's today, I felt it from the day one. I don't mind if you talk about my work. You say, ‘She's a bad actor and she has done this film badly, she's not looking nice', because it's a visual media, don't mind. But the rest I do mind. Because people who see they see it for a second and then move on. They're onto something else," she added.Speaking about trolls, Jaya added, "If people are going to earn their living by putting all my angry speeches on YouTube, Instagram and Twitter, I give a damn. I don't give a damn. You have opinion about them personally, you have opinion about the work they do I understand. You criticise it, you cut it into pieces I accept. You can say, 'She is a bad actor, a bad parliamentarian' but you have no business sitting on judgment of my personal character. 'She only knows how to get angry'. Angry about what? You're intruding, interfering in my personal when I'm walking somewhere, you're taking my picture. Why? Am I not a human being?"Just last week, Jaya and Navya encountered the paparazzi at a fashion event. Jaya was heard saying to a pap, "Serves you well. I hope you double and fall.”
