‘People don’t respect you because you’re an elder’: Urfi Javed criticises Jaya Bachchan for telling a photographer ‘hope you fall’
Internet sensation Urfi Javed recently came down heavily on veteran Bollywood actor Jaya Bachchan after she got angry at a paparazzo and told him she ‘hopes’ he falls. In a viral video, Jaya, who is often seen scolding the photographers whenever they follow her or try to click her pictures, is telling someone, “Serves you right… I hope you double and fall.”
Re-posting the video on her Instagram story, Urfi wrote, “Did she just say ‘I hope you double and fall’. Please let’s not be like her, let’s hope all of us only rise. Be it the one behind the camera or in front. People won’t respect you because you’re elder to them or more powerful, they’ll respect you if you’re nice to them.”
In the next story, the Bigg Boss OTT fame mentioned how voicing her opinions she is losing her chances of getting work in the industry. She added, “Trust me sometimes I hate it too that I’m so opinionated, I wanna control but dayum this mouth. I know I’m ruining my work opportunities speaking up but yaar chup nahi raha jata. I feel when you’re quiet on matters that don’t bother you, it shows how entitled you are. Apne ghar paani bijli aati hai, toh jinke ghar nahi aati unke liye hum kyun bole. Yeh wo waali baat lagti hai mujhe! (I feel it’s the same as not caring about people who do not have access to electricity and water just because you have it!)
Urfi Javed shared Jaya Bachchan’s video on Instagram.
Emphasising the need to raise our voices, Urfi concluded her note, “I know all human beings can never be at an equal level but at least we all can get equal opportunities to grow – for that we all need to raise our voices.”
Urfi Javed is a paparazzi favourite and often draws attention for her fashion choices. She was once lauded ace international designer Harris Reed. Earlier in an interview with , Urfi had thanked the paparazzi and had said that if she could, she would have given each photographer a car and a house as a gift. “I give them all the credit. When I get married, they would be the chief guest,” she said.
