Jaya Bachchan further stated that Bollywood is one of the few industries that connects India to the entire world, and it plays an essential role in promoting India’s cultural diversity on the global stage. She urged the government to recognize the value of the film and audiovisual industries and to take steps to support them, rather than shutting them down.

The veteran actress called upon the government and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to seriously consider the challenges faced by the film industry. She made an emotional plea to the Rajya Sabha, asking for the government’s intervention to protect the industry’s future.
