Jaya Bachchan blasts photogs: There are basic manners which Indians have to learn

Jaya Bachchan has always been known to be an articulate speaker, when she has to speak her mind. She famously called out Bollywood's two-face disease when she won the Filmfare lifetime achievement award in 2007. Jaya didn't think twice before lambasting a set of photographers, who kept distracting her with the constant flashes, as reported by a city-based daily.

The Mili actor was in conversation with noted film critic Bhawana Somaaya at Narsee Monjee annual festival, Umang. She got irritated with the photographer which prompted the tirade, "I hate it because the bulbs flash right in my eyes. These are basic manners which Indians have to learn. Just because you have a camera and a mobile, you have the freedom of taking anyone's picture any time, without asking for permission! This is basic education that all colleges, schools and parents at home should teach their children."

She went on to say on the microphone, the conversation wouldn't proceed until the photographer stopped annoying her. This resulted in pin-drop silence in the auditorium. "It's very annoying. I am trying to chat here and you are sitting right in front of me clicking right into my eyes. I hate indiscipline," she said.

She even went on preaching about punctuality much to the audience's amusement, "I like to be on time to honour the person who has invited me. You might think that I am behaving like a grandmother, but I am one." An insightful session indeed.
