During the zero hour in the Rajya Sabha, Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Jaya Bachchan launched a veiled attack on actor turned politician Ravi Kishan for stating that “drug addiction is in the film industry.”

“Just because of a few people, you cannot tarnish the whole industry… I was really embarrassed and ashamed that yesterday one of our members in the Lok Sabha, who is from the industry, spoke against the film industry. They bite the hands that feed them,” Bachchan said.
