Bollywood actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut is in the news these days for her upcoming film 'Emergency'. The film has been postponed for some time.

Kangana spoke about Jaya Bachchan
Kangana Ranaut, while talking about Jaya Bachchan during the interview, said, "Jaya Bachchan ji is a very popular actress of our film industry. To be honest, she is known for her angry nature, but at the same time, I would like to give her this acknowledgement and credit that at that time. You can imagine that in the 1970s, when women had to fry their skin in (harsh) light, she did films like Guddi. She gave the message of women empowerment through this. Even after that. She is one of the most popular women in the film industry. The way she presents herself in the Rajya Sabha, I feel very good that we have such representation from the film industry".
When Kangana targeted Jaya Bachchan
For your information, let us tell you that in the year 2020, Kangana Ranaut, while targeting Jaya Bachchan, wrote to her ex, 'Which thali has Jaya ji and her industry given me?

I taught feminism to this industry, decorated the thali with patriotic women-oriented films. This is my own thali Jaya ji, not yours.'
