A new twist to Ash-Priyanka IIFA award controversy

A new twist to Ash-Priyanka IIFA award controversy

Director Ashutosh Gowarikar is getting a lot of backlash for saying that Aishwarya Rai deserved to win the Best Actress trophy more that Priyanka Chopra at IIFA. But it was Jaya Bachchan , Ash's mother-in-law, who prompted Gowarikar to root for Ash on stage at IIFA.

It was shocking to see Gowarikar step on stage at IIFA to receive an award but humiliate Priyanka Chopra by publicly questioning how she managed to win the Best Actress award (for Fashion ) when Ash was also nominated in the same category for her performance in Jodhaa Akbar .

Now, Jaya Bachchan has revealed that she suggested Gowarikar to bring up the issue on stage.

"The fact is, I suggested he bring up the question on stage at IIFA. We were discussing why Aishwarya has not been given any award for 'Jodhaa Akbar' and I suggested Ashutosh bring up the matter," Mrs. Bachchan is quoted as saying in a media report.

Interestingly, while Jaya Bachchan insists that Ash deserved the award, she hasn't even seen Priyanka's performance in 'Fashion'. So the obvious question is, how can anyone claim who (Ash or Priyanka) deserved the award better without seeing both the performances?

It appears that Ash's saasu ma is being unfair to Priyanka.

They all are a bunch of loony people - The Entire Industry !!

I think its untrue...medias just dragging in other names for sake of it.

Tell Jaya Bachan to go and see Fashion herself then let her decide who deserved th award!!!

to isme hum kya karen?🤪

I want to see IIfa just to watch htis guy make a fool of himself

As someone, who has followed the Oscar quite a lot, and watched the most amazing performances. I have to say not every person wins. Despite some of the spectacular performances there are some actors that do not win the Oscar, and yet they do not complain. They sit there smile, and cheer for the actors that wins. Aishwarya no doubt gave her best with Jodha Akbar in her career, but I fail to understand the reason her MIL and her director are complaining that she should have won. They ought to learn something from the Oscars i.e. professionalism.

aish and acting are 2 things that cannt go together lol stupid jaya witch
