Ranvir Shorey Recalls His Comment On Jaya Bachchan’s Remark On Nepotism: 'Gussa Panap Raha Tha'

When Jaya Bachchan supported Bollywood amid the nepotism debate in the parliament in 2020, her speech went viral on social media and left a few disappointed. Among others, Ranvir Shorey had also expressed frustration with the actress-turned-politician’s words. However, four years later, the Bigg Boss OTT 3 fame has now clarified that he wasn’t directly attacking Jaya Bachchan when he talked about her comment in 2020.

In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Ranvir Shorey said, “I did not say it on Jaya ji’s remark, whatever she said at that time was all over the internet. Everybody was talking about that thaali. So even I also gave my opinion but it was not in reply to her.”

“I must have been quite angry to have written that. Even earlier people have told me that mai kafi motive ho ke liktha hu social media pe. So maybe it’s better to step back. Today if I have to express the same thing. I would probably not express it so sarcastically. I didn’t have to be so angry about it. Maine ye tab likha hai jab mere andar voh gussa panap raha tha, double treatment that met it out in Bollywood. Uspe I think this expresses my anger,” the actor added.

What Did Jaya Bachchan Say About Nepotism In 2020?

During the coronavirus pandemic, Jaya Bachchan was speaking at the parliament when she lashed out at those alleging nepotism in Bollywood. “Jis thali mai khate ho ussi mai ched karte hai,” the actress-turned-politician had said.

Reacting to this, Shorey had posed on his X handle, “थालियाँ सजाते हैं यह अपने बच्चों के लिए। हम जैसों को फेंके जाते हैं सिर्फ़ टुकड़े।अपना tiffin खुद pack करके काम पे जाते हैं हम। किसी ने कुछ दिया नहीं है। जो है, वो है जो यह लोग हमसे ले नहीं सके। इनका बस चलता तो वो भी अपने ही बच्चों को दे देते (They decorate plates (thaalis) for their kids. We pack our own tiffin by ourselves and go to work.)”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Ranvir Shorey recently made headlines for his participation in Bigg Boss OTT 3. He was the second runner-up of the show. Besides this, his latest series, Shekhar Home, co-starring KayKay Menon is now also streaming on JioCinema.
