Bollywood actress Jaya Bachchan does not need any identity. Along with films, she has also kept her political innings quite strong, but it is not that in the meantime she has missed the responsibility of her family. Jaya took a break from films only to take care of the children and family. Jaya Bachchan has worked in many big and successful films. The actress used to act in films according to her conditions even in the 80-90s.
There are many such stories about Jaya Bachchan’s work, but not many people would know that when Jaya was asked to tear her clothes for a rape scene on the set of a film, she was furious at the director and got angry. He had also stopped shooting for the film.
Actually this thing is from the year 1972. Then Jaya Bachchan used to be Jaya Bhaduri. At that time Amitabh and Jaya were working together in the film ‘Ek Nazar’. A rape scene was to be shot in this film, so the director of the film started telling the details of the scene to Jaya. After listening to the scene, Jaya did not refuse to do it but she said that she would not get her clothes torn. Although the director wanted the rapist in the scene to tear Jaya’s clothes.
At first he explained a lot to Jaya but she remained adamant on her insistence. She even threatened the director that if she was coerced, she would act badly and ruin the film. The debate went on for two days and finally the director had to give up the idea of shooting the sequence in his own way.
Talking about the incident in the film, Jaya Bachchan had said, “I was very hesitant. I couldn’t expose my body. Be it my small town or middle class upbringing or something, I don’t know. I can’t.”
After this when the rape scene was shot. In the scene, the actress had to act as her defense. The scene took about 7-8 takes. During this, Jaya gave full support but the actor who did the rape scene refused to do this scene after giving up. In anger, when the director asked the actor what happened to you now? In such a situation, the actor said that Jaya Bhaduri, who is defending in the scene, is actually being kicked and punched at me. My body is aching, bones are looking like broken. I will not do this scene.
