Jaya Bachchan, an actor-politician, chastised Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha Harivansh Narayan Singh today in parliament for adopting Amitabh Bachchan’s name as her middle name. She took a moment to remind everyone that she had her own identity as well.
Jaya Bachchan rejects being identified by her husband’s name; says, “Women have no identity”
Harivansh called her to speak in a parliament session on Monday, saying, “Shrimati Jaya Amitabh Bachchan ji, please.” Jaya responded: “Sir, sirf Jaya Bachchan bolte to kaafi hojata (It would’ve been enough to call me Jaya Bachchan).” But it was pointed out that’s what her name is officially registered as.
She said, “Some new method has emerged that women have to be known by their husband’s name. Women have no identity. They have no achievements, no identity of their own. This new thing….”
Fans responded to the video, with some calling her ‘brave’. One questioned, “No but why Amitabh got added? If she did not add, who did? Or is it occurring to everyone?” Another person replied, “She’s not wrong in any sense btw.”
One admirer responded to misogynistic remarks that did not see her point, commenting, “People today are so selective. Had there been any other woman in her place, the comments would have supported her. She is not wrong though. Before she became a ‘Bachchan’ she was a successful actress herself. Indeed, how far we have come.”
