[Social Media Buzz] Jaya Bachchan's Mic-Push Video Goes Viral: Social Media Split
On October 7, veteran Indian actress and MP Jaya Bachchan attended an opposition protest march in New Delhi, when a video of her pushing away a reporter's microphone and refusing to answer questions went viral on social media.
Opposition MPs were marching toward the Election Commission office demanding the chief election commissioner's resignation. Surrounded by reporters near Parliament Street, Bachchan moved the mic away and declined to respond, triggering polarized reactions: some say she has every right to refuse interviews, others criticize her disrespect toward the press.
The video has continued to spread since October 7, becoming a hot controversy on Indian social media.
