 When Moushumi Chatterjee said 'I am much better person than Jaya Bachchan' to paps

Veteran actress Moushumi Chatterjee is known for wittiness and speaking her heart out. While she has been missing from the big screen for quite some time, she was seen at an event in March this year, which took place in Mumbai.

She posed for paps at the event but when the photographers constantly asked her to ’look right, look left’, she got irritated however, the smile on her face was intact.

When one of her friends compared her to Jaya Bachchan, she immediately looked at the paps and said, “I am a much better person than Jaya Bachchan.” “Actually, aap log nahi hote toh hum kahaan hote (Actually without you (paps) all we (actors) wouldn’t exist),” she added and posed for solo shots.

For the unversed, Jaya is known for her bitter-sweet relationship with paps. She has been seen bashing the photographers, whenever they try to click her.

Last year in an interview with Lehren, Chatterjee revealed that she was replaced by Jaya Bachchan in Gulzar-directorial ‘Koshish’ after she shot for 3 days.

“I shot for three days, and I could see what manipulations were done in those three days. I could see Jaya Bachchan’s secretary; she was there from morning to night at the office. And all of a sudden Gulzar da, whom I had known since Geetanjali and who used to teach my mother-in-law Urdu, said, ‘You have got to shoot from tomorrow to little late in the night.’ I had just had a baby and I said, ‘I cannot, I have a child at home. I can only shoot in one shift.’ Then he said in front of everybody, ‘You know so many actresses are there in line to take that spot.’ I got triggered, and I said, ‘Then take them,’” said the actress.

She was last seen in Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan and Deepika Padukone starrer Piku.
