After Jaya Bachchan slammed those who were tarnishing the image of the film industry, several Bollywood folk extended support to her. Taapsee Pannu posted, "Hitting the nail on its head and how. Yet again a woman from the industry spoke up... respect."

For we have always stood by the initiatives, causes and awareness campaigns. It’s time for payback. Hitting the nail on its head and how ! u00f0u009fu0091u008fu00f0u009fu008fu00bc yet again a woman from the industry spoke up u00f0u009fu0099u008fu00f0u009fu008fu00bc #Respect https://t.co/CVz1cTlCNw

Dia Mirza, too, tweeted, "Jayaji is absolutely right. So grateful that she spoke up for our industry. We are always committed to contribute towards social upliftment and social good. The industry has always helped governments. This vilification of our film industry is unjust and condemnable."
