As preparations get underway for Durga Puja 2026, fans are eager to see the Mukerji family, including Rani Mukerji , Kajol and Ayan Mukerji , at the North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja at SNDT Ground in Juhu. Jaya Bachchan and the paparazzi have often been at loggerheads, with the veteran actor openly expressing her displeasure at being followed and photographed during her outings in Mumbai.
Because a lot of people push, especially to go to the pandal and all, so just be careful and take care of each other, don’t forget that there is humanity. Jaya Bachchan regularly visits the Durga Puja pandal organised by the Mukerji family. This year, Kajol’s sister and actor Tanishaa Mukerji has a special request for the paparazzi, asking them not to trouble Jaya. Don’t forget that there is humanity. I’m the product of the media, but my relationship with the paparazzi is zero. Who are these people? Are they trained to represent the people of this country? You call them media? I come from the media. My father was a journalist. I have immense respect for such people. Magar ye jo bahar draine-pipe tight gande gande pant pahen ke haath me mobile leke (But these guys who wear tight, dirty drain-pipe pants and carry a mobile phone in their hand)…they think they have a mobile in their hand so they can take your picture?”
She said, “There’s going to be a lot more footfall, so I definitely request everybody in the media and the public to please take care of each other. She had said, “My relationship with the media is fantastic. During a press conference held in Mumbai on Friday, Tanishaa urged the paparazzi and the public to maintain decorum at the pandal.
