Today, the prayer meet of late Manoj Kumar was held at his Juhu residence. Jaya Bachchan was one of the first to arrive to pay her respects and offer condolences to the bereaved family. A video has gone viral where Jaya Bachchan seems to be angry as a woman taps her from behind. Netizens feel the woman might have asked for a picture or selfie that left her miffed. Jaya Bachchan angrily takes her hand and tells her to move ahead. In the past, she has been trolled for her alleged temper and high-handed behaviour with the paparazzi. But this time, netizens are in her favour.

People came out in support of Jaya Bachchan saying that people should learn some propriety. After all, a prayer meet for a deceased is not the place for that ultimate celebrity moment. Jaya Bachchan is known for her sense of boundaries. She has often said that it is infuriating to see how people seem to approach her or click pictures even without a basic permission. However, this attitude of hers has been trolled brutally. Some fans feel she is a bit too orthodox to understand the contemporary pop culture where stars are reachable to their fans.

One of Bollywood’s screen icons, Manoj Kumar who was known as Mr Bharat passed away two days back. He was admitted to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital where he breathed his last. Manoj Kumar has won National Awards and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for his contribution to Indian cinema. The funeral rites saw two touching moments one when his wife Shashi broke down, and the hug between Amitabh Bachchan and Salim Khan.
