Jaya Bachchan 'Looks, Talks Like Kangana Ranaut' In Viral Video, Reveals Why She Quit Films | Watch

Jaya Bachchan revealed in an interview that she started getting fewer films after the action genre and Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘angry young man’ image gained momentum in Bollywood. She remarked on how she has to take care of three kids – Abhishek Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan. However, what caught everyone’s attention is that the actress resembles Kangana Ranaut in the viral video.

In an old interaction which has resurfaced online, when Jaya Bachchan was asked why she had taken a step back from films, she joked that it was because of the action genre’s popularity and that she had her hands full with three kids at home. With a knowing glance at Amitabh Bachchan, he quickly chimed in to clarify that the three in question were Abhishek Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan, and — of course — himself. However, fans noted how Jaya looked and sounded like Kangana Ranaut.

One person wrote, “So Kangana sounds exactly like young Jaya you mean.” Another added, “Now she can play her as well.” One person wrote, “Exactly, 100 per cent same.” Another added, “Yes she looks like Kangana Ranaut.” One fan wrote, “Omg… Shocked… Lip movements, giggles, pauses.. Everything is so same… Even the features resemblance is seen… voice too…”

Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut will soon be seen in Emergency. Before Kangana Ranaut’s film Emergency faced release delays due to controversy, it was approved for a ‘UA’ certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with the condition of three edits and providing factual sources for some historical quotes. These included statements by US President Richard Nixon about Indian women and Winston Churchill’s comment on Indians “breeding like rabbits,” as reported by The Sunday Express.

The committee asked the filmmakers to remove or change certain scenes, like one showing a soldier hitting an infant’s head and another of three women being beheaded during an attack on Bangladeshi refugees. They also requested that an expletive shouted by a crowd after a leader’s death be replaced and that a family’s surname in a line be changed. The CBFC also requested sources for all research, statistics, and details about Bangladeshi refugees, court rulings, and permission to use archival footage from ‘Operation Bluestar.’
