Jaya Bachchan ruffled a few feather when she recently criticized her son Abhishek Bachchan’s film Happy New Year at a literature festival.  It is usually said your mom is your best critic and rightly so, as Abhishek Bachchan and his work in Happy New Year has been slammed by none other than but mommy dear Jaya.

At Tata Literature Live Mumbai LitFest Jaya said, “HNY” is the most nonsensical film I’ve seen in recent years. I said that to the film’s lead actor as well. I watched it only because Abhishek was part of it. I told him he’s a great actor if he can act stupid in front of the camera like that. I can’t be part of what is being done in films these days and hence I don’t do films anymore.”  A leading portal quoted Jaya also as saying, “Unfortunately cinema today is about business, not art. We call good films art house cinema. What does that even mean? All cinema is art.”

Apologizing :

Jaya Bachchan words have not gone down well with all those associated with the film and the Bachchan clan is reportedly in a damage control mode. According to a report in Bollywood Life, Amitabh Bachchan has sent a text message to Shah Rukh khan apologizing on his wife’s behalf. In the text, he apparently explained that her intention was not to hurt the sentiments of the film or its cast. But she just went to emotional. Also, Abhishek and Aishwarya reportedly went to Shah Rukh’s house to apologize to him directly but could not meet him as the actor was out of station.

This ways Jaya Bachchan was in news on the issue of criticizing HNY.
