In an interview with NDTV, actor turned politician, Urmila Matondkar reacted to Kangana Ranaut talking about her teaching feminism to the film industry. As Kangana Ranaut stated in one of her tweets that she is the one who taught feminism to the film industry, Urmila Matondkar reminded the Manikarnika actress about the films like Mili, Guddi, Abhimaan that Jaya Bachchan gave the Hindi film industry. As the actor turned politician speaks out, she said, “When Kangana was not even born, Jaya Bachchan was in the film industry.”
"Which girl from a civilised cultured house would use this kind of language? Like 'kya ukhaad loge', 'kiska baap ka kya hai', speaking about Jaya ji the way she did," Ms Matondkar told NDTV in an interview.
"Yes, what happened with her office and a certain word being used against her was completely condemnable. I would never stand up for such actions (but) The Y+ security has come from our money. Can we say due to Act of God we cannot pay taxes? We cannot," she said.
"You cannot cross a certain line, speak ill of an industry that has made you everything. If some people are taking drugs or are drug addicts, you have no reason to compare it to mafia. When Kangana was not even born, Jaya ji was in the film industry. We're talking about a lady here (Jaya Bachchan) who has herself been an icon. Which part of Indian culture tells you to lash out at people like this?" she said.
