Actress Jaya Bachchan Once Again Expressed Her Displeasure For Being Referred As ‘Jaya Amitabh Bachchan’ To Jagdeep Dhankhar
Famous actress and Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan on Monday again objected to the addition of her husband Amitabh Bachchan’s name to her name in Parliament. Although Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar tried to convince her, Jaya continued to express her displeasure. In fact, during the Question Hour in Rajya Sabha on Monday, Chairman Dhankhar said, ‘Supplementary Number 4, Mrs. Jaya Amitabh Bachchan…’ After this, Jaya Bachchan got up from her seat and asked the Chairman – “Sir, do you know the meaning of Amitabh?” To this, Chairman Dhankhar said, “Hon’ble members, there is a process of change in the name that appears in the election certificate and which is submitted here. I myself took advantage of this process in 1989. We have told every member about that change process.”

Jaya Bachchan said, “No sir, I am very proud of both my name and my husband. I am also very proud of my husband’s achievements. His name means such an aura that cannot be erased. I am very happy.” After this, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar asked Jaya Bachchan to sit on the seat. On this, Jaya Bachchan said, ‘Don’t worry. This drama has started afresh, which was not there earlier.’

After this, the Chairman said, ”Hon’ble members, once I went to France. There in a hotel, the management told me that there are photos of every global icon. I went up the stairs and I saw that Amitabh Bachchan’s photo was also there. This is from 2004. Madam, the whole country is proud of Amitabh Bachchan.” After this, Jaya Bachchan again got up from her seat and pointing towards Manohar Lal Khattar said, ”Put his wife’s name in front of his name. Sir, I am not against this, but this is wrong.” After this, the Chairman said, ”Many times I have introduced myself as Dr. Sudesh Pati. …I have always respected your feelings.” To this Jaya said, ”Sorry Sir, I did not know.”

Earlier on Friday, Jaya Bachchan had referred to herself as ‘Jaya Amitabh Bachchan’ in the House. Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar’s reaction to this was commendable and he laughed out loud. However, even before this, when Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh took Jaya’s name by adding Amitabh Bachchan’s name, the actress had expressed her displeasure.
