Hema Malini’s birthday bash: Jaya Bachchan schools paps again, says 'itna direction mat dijiye'

Several celebrities including Jaya Bachchan attended veteran actor Hema Malini’s 75th birthday party in Mumbai on October 16. Several videos and pictures from the bash have surfaced online.

Jaya, who is often seen in a not-so-friendly mood with paparazzi, happily posed for photographers with her friends. But when photographers kept telling her where to look, Jaya snapped at them and asked them not to give her so many directions for photos.

For the occasion, Jaya wore a traditional beige ensemble. She tucked her hair into a bun adorned with a gajra.

The actor, along with Padmini Kolhapure, arrived at the photo booth for pictures.

Jaya told the media, ‘Yeh Padmini mujhe yaha le kar aayi hai (Padmini brought me here.)’ Someone from the photographers replied, ‘Jaya Ji ko lana bohot mushkil hai (it's difficult to convince Jaya Bachchan for photos).’

As photographers kept telling Jaya where to look at the cameras, she said, ‘Avi aap log itna direction mat dijiye (now don't give me so much direction for photos).’ She wrapped up the photo session with a namaste before walking away with Padmini.

Padmini looked beautiful in a floral teal anarkali suit.

Reacting to the video shared on Instagram, someone wrote in the comments, ‘Why all click her photos when she insult media every moment,’ asked another. Another commented, ‘Can’t believe she is smiling.’

Others attendees

Besides Jaya and Padmini, the party in Mumbai was also attended by Dharmendra, Esha Deol, Salman Khan, Rani Mukerji, Raveena Tandon, Vidya Balan, Anupam Kher, Jackie Shroff, Rakesh Roshan, Tusshar Kapoor, Rekha, Madhuri Dixit and Shilpa Shetty among others.
