WATCH: Jaya Bachchan objects to being called by her husband Amitabh Bachchan's name at Rajya Sabha

As a lifestyle expert with a deep appreciation for the rich tapestry of Indian culture and its iconic figures, I cannot help but be moved by the recent incident involving esteemed actress-politician Jaya Bachchan. Born as Jaya Bhaduri, she chose to adopt her husband’s name post-marriage, Amitabh Bachchan, a decision that has sparked an important conversation about identity and women’s rights in our society.


1. Initially known as Jaya Bhaduri upon birth, this actress-politician opted to take on the last name of her husband Amitabh Bachchan post their marriage. However, during a parliament session on July 29th, when Mrs. Bachchan was referred to by the same name, she expressed irritation towards the Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha, Harivansh Narayan Singh. Here’s what unfolded following her outburst.

Mr. Harivash looked at the politician’s name on his cue and asked her to speak, saying “Please, Shrimati Jaya Amitabh Bachchan.” Jaya responded with a laugh, “Sir, just calling me Jaya Bachchan would have been sufficient.” The man corrected him, explaining that he had followed her official registered name.

Jaya Bachchan went on in Hindi, roughly meaning, “Recently, it’s become customary for women to be recognized only by their husbands’ names. They lack individuality and accomplishments, just a new trend I find myself…”

Internet reacts to Jaya Bachchan objecting to be called out by her husband’s name

1. In response to my assertiveness, numerous individuals praised me as courageous and backed my decision. One individual expressed, “Modern society can be quite selective. If another woman were in my shoes, the comments would likely support her too. Regardless, she is not in the wrong. Before she was a ‘Bachchan’, she was an accomplished actress. Truly, how much progress we’ve made.” (First person)

Yet, a significant portion of the Internet criticized her for engaging in the debate at an inappropriate location. One user remarked, “It’s as if she claims ‘there is no one better than me.’ Mrs. Jaya Bachchan ought to recall that people endure her arrogant demeanor mainly due to your husband, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.”

“This comment section reflects the disappointing aspects of our country, according to a user in the process of discerning right from wrong.”

1. Since 1973, Jaya Bachchan has been in a marital relationship with the renowned figure Amitabh Bachchan and together they share two children: Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan Nanda.
