Actor Swara Bhasker, known for never mincing her words, recently took to Twitter to write an appreciation post for veteran actor and Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan.
In her tweet, Swara wrote that not only did films like Guddi, Shor, Zanjeer, Jawani Deewani, Anamika, Koshish, Bawarchi, Uphaar, Kora Kagaz, Chupke Chupke, Mili, Abhimaan, Silsila and Fiza among others — in which Jaya Bachchan played crucial and different roles, some of which were also female-centric — helped an ‘outsider’ (Jaya Bachchan) to establish herself as a shinning star in the industry but also paved the way for aspiring actors like herself.
She added that Jaya Bachchan is a source of inspiration.
जया जी, गुड्डी, शोर, ज़ंजीर, जवानी दीवानी, अनामिका, कोशिश, बावर्ची, उपहार, कोरा काग़ज़, चुपके चुपके, मिली, अभिमान, सिलसिला, शोले, नौकर, हज़ार चौरासी की माँ। फ़िज़ा जैसी तमाम फ़िल्मों में आपने जिस तरह के किरदार किए, जिनमें से कई महिला प्रधान फ़िल्में थीं.. 1/2

.. उन्होंने ना केवल एक ‘आउट्साइडर’ को फ़िल्म इंडस्ट्री का चमकता सितारा बना दिया, पर मुझ जैसी अभिनेत्रियों के लिए रास्ता गढ़ा। आप प्रेरणा का स्रोत हैं।
You are an inspiration ma’am! 2/2#JayaBachchan #trailblazer https://t.co/2Ra3GbIDH4— Swara Bhasker (@ReallySwara) September 16, 2020
The insider-outsider debate was rekindled by Kangana Ranaut after the tragic demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Not only did Kangana allege that ‘nepokids’ were given preferential treatment but also claimed that the ‘movie mafia’ had ganged up against Sushant, which ultimately led to his death. Ranaut has since been the ‘flag-bearer for outsiders’ as Taapsee Pannu calls it, who have to deal with differential treatment from industry insiders.
