UP: Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan reacting to the Jaya Prada’s Khilji remark called actor-turned-politician Jaya Prada “naachne waali”.
According to the report published in Jantaka Reporter, he used this term while addressing the public. In the video, he can be listen saying, “I listen Khilji role in Padmaavat movie is very bad. However, now a woman, a ‘naachne waali’ said something about ‘Khaadim'”. His comment was in response to Jaya Prada’s Khilji remark.
It may be mentioned that earlier, Jaya Prada said that Sultan Alauddin Khilji’s character in the movie ‘Padmaavat’ reminded her of Samajwadi Party’s leader Azam Khan. “When I was watching Padmaavat,Khilji’s character reminded me of Azam Khan ji,” she said.
The tiff between the two is not new. In 2009, Azam Khan supporters openly campaigned against the party candidate, Jaya Prada. She even accused Khan of circulating vulgar material to tarnish her image in 2009, stating that she would complain to the Election Commission about it.
Jaya Prada won the 2009 election but by a reduced margin of about 30,000 votes. The bitter rivalry between the two Uttar Pradesh leaders surfaced in 2012 as well, with Jaya Prada vowing to destroy Khan’s “arrogance”.
