Jaya Bachchan Hit Me With A Stick During Ganga Devi Shoot, Says Nirahua

Veteran actress Jaya Bachchan is often in the spotlight for her candid and fiery nature, whether it's toward paparazzi or unexpected strangers. Now, Bhojpuri superstar Dinesh Lal Yadav, also known as Nirahua, has revealed a behind-the-scenes incident that highlights just how seriously the actress takes her work, sometimes a bit too seriously.

In a recent chat with Siddharth Kannan on YouTube, Nirahua opened up about a memorable (and painful) experience from the sets of the 2012 film Ganga Devi. Sharing screen space with Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, Nirahua portrayed the son of Jaya’s character.

Recalling a dramatic scene, Nirahua said: “There was a scene where I had to slap my on-screen wife, and Jaya ji, playing my mother, had to scold me and beat me with a stick. But instead of pretending, she actually hit me. And she hit me hard! She is very short-tempered.”
