Jaya Bachchan: Ash deserved the award
June 25, 2009

The IIFA best actress award went to Priyanka Chopra for her performance in Fashion. Ever since then there has been a lot of discussion on why Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s performance in Jodha Akbar was ignored.

In fact Jodha Akbar’s director Ashitosh Gowarikar echoed this sentiment on stage while receiving the Best Director award for the same film. He also derided Priyanka’s best actress award and said Jaya also felt the same.

Toeing in line with Ashutosh, Jaya has now said that her daughter in law deserved the award for her excellent portrayal and body language in Jodha Akbar. According to Jaya, “First of all it is being presumed that Ashutosh unnecessarily mentioned my name regarding Aishwarya’s omission from the awards. The fact is I suggested he bring up the question on stage at IIFA. We were discussing why Aishwarya has not been given any award for 'Jodhaa Akbar' and I suggested Ashutosh bring up the matter. So when he mentioned my name, he wasn't doing anything wrong.”
