At Hema Malini’s 75th birthday celebrations were held in Mumbai, Jaya Bachchan came with actor Padmini Kohlapure. The latter was seen holding the senior actor’s hand as they walked. When the excited paparazzi screamed her name, Jaya Ji cutely signaled them to keep quiet.
She also told the cameramen, “Ye Padmini mujhe yahan lekar aayi hai…(Padmini has brought me here)”.
