I couldn’t see the entire video. Jaya Bachchan

Jaya had previously stated that she was ‘ashamed’ and could not watch the entire video of tribal women from Manipur being displayed in their knickers. She had said, “I felt so bad, I couldn’t see the entire video,” to the news agency ANI in Hindi. I was humiliated. Although this occurred in May, it has since gone viral.
