i think your a bit too young to even know where jaya bachchan was at that time. i can assure you she was were rani is today. just like you consider hema to have been the top actress at that time someone else might consider preity zinta to be at the top today.
and jaya bachchan is well known today not only due to Big B. she has done many successful films even now. i can guarantee you that rani will be no where near where jaya is today........in your words........she will be forgotten unlike jaya.
Age as nothing to do with knowing abt old and new actresses. I've seen many old films, and also from what my parents, and other friends say, I can gather that Jaya was certainly not where Rani is today. In people's choice awards also, Rani has won many awards. Maybe Jaya was a good actress, but she surely didn't have the fan following that Rani does. Era doesn't have anything to do with fans, even then they had fans, even now there are fans. For example, my dad and his friends are big Amitabh fans and were crazy abt his movies. And Rajesh Khanna's as well, they used to watch their movies like 25 times, and when I asked him abt who was the actress everybody was most crazy abt he said that Jaya, even though she was a good actress, noone was really that crazy abt her like they were with Hema, Zeenat Aman, Parveen Bhabhi...
And Rani will never be forgotten, she is an amazing actress and most of all she has won the hearts of millions, and she has reached the heights she has today only because of herself and her own talent, not because of a big name behind her.
