Call Aishwarya Rai 'ma'am', angry mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan yells at media

At an event, Jaya Bachchan had scolded journalists and photographers for calling Aishwarya Rai by her name, read on

Jaya Bachchan is infamous for losing her cool, especially with the photographers. Also, with her eager fans wanting to take pictures with her. She was many times seen schooling media persons when things didn't go as expected.

One such instance was when Jaya Bachchan and her 'bahu' Aishwarya Rai were attending Subhash Ghai's party. Jaya had scolded journalists for calling Aishwarya by her name. She had said, "Kya Aishwarya, Aishwarya bula rahe ho, tumhare class me padhti thi kya?"

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Abhishek Bachchan came to his mom's defence saying, "Nobody calls her Ash. Her name is Aishwarya. And that's what my mother said."

But the point is, it wasn't 'Aish' that Jaya had a problem with. She despised people calling her daughter-in-law 'Aishwarya' and not 'ma'am'.

Aishwarya will next be seen in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan (son of Kaveri), a film based on Tamil classic novel of the same name. The film has a massive cast, including Vikram, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Keerthy Suresh and Amala Paul.
