Jaya Bachchan lashes out at media for taking pics at condolence meet

Jaya Bachchan visited designer Manish Malhotra to extend her condolences on his father's death. While coming out, Jaya saw photographers gathered outside the Malhotra residence taking pictures of the celebs, which apparently irked her.

Mumbai: Veteran actor Jaya Bachchan was spotted venting ire on mediapersons during a visit to fashion designer Manish Malhotra's residence on Monday in Mumbai.

Malhotra lost his father Suraj Malhotra, and Jaya Bachchan was among many people from the film industry who visited the designer at his residence to pay respects. Malhotra's father was in his early nineties and had been unwell for a while.

Jaya Bachchan came along with her daughter Shweta Bachachan Nanda in the late hours.

Seeing the photographers gathered outside the Malhotra residence, Bachchan, it seems, was not happy. As she was leaving the place, she was heard telling the media persons: "You don't have any manners na? You don't think about what the situation is. When such an incident (death) will take place in your houses, then I want to see how you react to it."

She then got into her car with her daughter and left.
