Jaya DID give Rani the cold-shoulder in Varanasi,that much was reported ages ago in the media....Rani was also embroiled in a bit of controversy when she was apparently very "rude" to the fourth estate and was asked to publically apologise.Allegedly,according to grapevine,Rani kept aloof on the sets and Jaya was "disgusted" with Rani's behaviour..Konkona and Jaya hit off well,but Rani never hung around with the legions of Bengalis(The director,lyricist,music director,crew etcetera)...Rani would apparently retire to her hotel after the shoot to spend time with her family.
Jaya was,apparently,also miffed with Priyanka Chopra for not hobnobbing on the sets of Drona.😕 Jaya comes across as domineering,highly opinionated and bossy.
It's not in the nature of Aishwarya to pass pejorative remarks,but if she indeed did say those derogatory stuff,then I'd call Ash petty and bitchy,though I have difficulty in believing the strictures on her because it is highly uncharacteristic of Aishwarya to stoop so low !!
