New Delhi. Jaya Bachchan has always been famous for her strong voice. Although she remains silent in most matters, but when she speaks, even big people are left speechless in front of her. When she expresses her views on any issue, everyone becomes her fan. A similar atmosphere was seen during the ongoing Rajya Sabha session. To listen to her, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar says that now she will have to be serious.
Actually, what happened was that when a private member bill presented by a Kerala MP was being discussed, Congress MP Shakti Singh Gohil expressed his views on this. The chairman was speaking on this when Jaya Bachchan stood up. The chairman, wearing headphones, signals Jaya to wait for a second and gives permission. He says, ‘I will have to listen seriously to your light-hearted comment and I will have to be very serious about your very light-hearted comment.
The chairman puts on headphones. After this Jaya Bachchan says, ‘Sir! I am Jaya Amitabh Bachchan asking you.’ As soon as Jaya Bachchan says this, the chairman starts laughing by banging his hand on the dias. All the MPs present in the Rajya Sabha also start laughing with him. Jaya herself starts laughing too. Further she asks the chairman, did you get a lunch break today or not, that is why you are repeatedly taking the name of Jairamji (Jairam Ramesh). You cannot digest your food without taking his name.
As soon as Jaya says this, the chairman takes out his headphones and says, ‘Let me tell you one thing on a lighter note…I did not have lunch during the lunch recess. After that I had lunch with Jairamji. After this, the house echoed with laughter again. Further, the chairman says that honorable member, I also want to tell you that this may be the first time that I am a fan of both you and Amitabh ji. Jaya again gets up and asks, why so? Chairman Dhankhar says, I have not met any such couple.
Jaya Bachchan: Main Jaya Amitabh Bachchan.
