Jaya Bachchan once BLAMED the internet for 'anxiety attacks'; Shweta Bachchan argued, saying 'It was always there'
Jaya Bachchan is a celebrated Indian actress and politician, known for her powerful performances in films like 'Guddi', 'Abhimaan' and 'Mili'. She has never shied away from speaking her mind, often making headlines for her blunt views on social issues, media and the changing times. 'Validation comes from your phone' In a past episode of her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda's podcast 'What The Hell Navya', the 'Zanjeer' actess opened up about her concerns around how today's younger generation is becoming increasingly dependent on digital validation. 'Navya, what happens among your generation is that 'answer to the calls quickly, reply to texts quickly'. You get your validation from what you see on the internet and your phone," she said. The 'Silsila' actress added that this constant checking makes stress levels shoot up. 'Are we looking nice? Are we thinking correctly? If you are saying the right thing? All this increases your stress levels," she added. 'We hadn't heard of an anxiety attack' When Navya asked if the internet had made her generation more stressed, the 'Sholay' actress didn't hold back. 'Definitely," she replied. Jaya then shared how words like 'anxiety attack' didn't even exist when she was younger. 'We hadn't heard of an anxiety attack when we were kids. Let alone our childhood, we never heard it in our midlife also," she said. The 'Kora Kagaz' actress felt that today's young people are under pressure from 'too much information' about looks, beauty tricks and what others are doing, which only makes things worse. Shweta Bachchan says anxiety was always there But Jaya's daughter, Shweta Bachchan, didn't fully agree. She felt that anxiety was always around — it just wasn't spoken about before. 'Anxiety was always there. It's now more identifiable. It's more spoken about," Shweta said. She even pointed out that Jaya herself has felt anxious. 'It's just more vocal," Shweta added, hinting that now people are more open to talking about what's troubling them.

This actor made debut at the 52, gave hits with Amitabh Bachchan, Shahid Kapoor, yet lived in a rented room, died in poverty, name was...
He wasn't a star in the conventional sense — but his presence lit up the screen with quiet power. A.K. Hangal, a name synonymous with depth and dignity, made his film debut at the age of 52 in Teesri Kasam (1966). What followed was a prolific career spanning over 200 films, an achievement by any measure. From playing Rahim Chacha in Sholay to heartfelt roles in Namak Haraam, Abhimaan, Lagaan, and Shaukeen, Hangal carved a space few could match — embodying moral integrity, warmth, and pain all at once. The quiet constant in the era of superstars He wasn't the hero, but he shared the frame with many. Hangal appeared in some of Amitabh Bachchan's most impactful films, including Sholay, Abhimaan, and Namak Haraam. Their screen chemistry in the 1970s and '80s added emotional weight to already powerful stories. He was also a familiar face in Rajesh Khanna's films — appearing in titles like Aap Ki Kasam, Amar Deep, Phir Wohi Raat, Thodisi Bewafaii, and Naukri, where he often played the conscience of the story. A Padma Bhushan… and a plea for help In 2006, Hangal was honoured with the Padma Bhushan, India's third-highest civilian award, for his contribution to theatre and cinema. But the honour did little to shield him from real-life hardship. In his later years, the actor was reportedly living in a small one-room flat in Mumbai. His son made an emotional appeal through the media, revealing that the veteran had little money for even basic medicines, despite a lifetime of contribution to Indian cinema. His monthly medical expenses alone ran into INR 6,000–8,000, a burden he could barely afford. A final curtain call A.K. Hangal passed away in August 2012 at the age of 98, following a brief illness. His death marked the end of a journey that was as tragic as it was inspiring — a reminder of how even the most beloved faces on screen can fade into financial struggle.

I think Amitji gave a better performance than I did in Mili,' she said. 'I consider it to be one of his best performances,' quoted Jaya Bachchan. Further, in the same conversation, recalling the fond memories of working with the legendary Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Jaya Bachchan continued, 'Like all Hrishikesh Mukherjee's films, it was quick and very enjoyable.
