She is currently the [[Member of Parliament]] in [[Rajya Sabha]] from the [[Samajwadi Party]], notably serving four terms since 2004. She is recognised as one of the finest [[Hindi film]] actresses of her time, particularly known for reinforcing a naturalistic style of acting in both mainstream and "middle-of-the-road" cinema.<ref name="Gulzar, p. 457">[[#Gu|Gulzar, p. 457]]</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/2000/12/22/stories/09220226.htm|author=Somaaya, Bhaawana|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|date=22 December 2000|accessdate=19 September 2011|title=His humility appears misplaced|quote=Probably the only actress to make a virtue out of simplicity, Jaya was the first whiff of realistic acting in an era when showbiz was bursting with mannequins}}</ref> During her career, she won nine [[Filmfare Awards]]: including three for [[Filmfare Award for Best Actress|Best Actress]] and three for [[Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress|Best Supporting Actress]], which makes her the overall most-awarded performer in the female acting categories, along with [[Rani Mukerji]]. She was awarded the [[Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award]] in 2007. In 1992, she was awarded the [[Padma Shri]] by the [[Government of India]].<ref name="Padma Awards">{{cite web|url=http://mha.nic.in/sites/upload_files/mha/files/LST-PDAWD-2013.pdf |title=Padma Awards |publisher=Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India |date=2015 |accessdate=21 July 2015 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6U68ulwpb?url=http://mha.nic.in/sites/upload_files/mha/files/LST-PDAWD-2013.pdf |archivedate=15 November 2014 }}</ref>

Making her film debut as a teenager in [[Satyajit Ray]]'s ''[[Mahanagar]]'' (1963), Bachchan's first screen role as an adult was in ''[[Guddi (1971 film)|Guddi]]'' (1971), directed by [[Hrishikesh Mukherjee]], with whom she collaborated in several films thereafter. She was noted for her refreshing performances in all her films, including ''[[Uphaar]]'' (1971), ''[[Koshish]]'' (1972) and ''[[Kora Kagaz]]'' (1974), among others. She starred alongside her husband [[Amitabh Bachchan]] in several films including ''[[Zanjeer (1973 film)|Zanjeer]]'' (1973), ''[[Abhimaan (1973 film)|Abhimaan]]'' (1973), ''[[Chupke Chupke]]'' (1975), ''[[Mili (1975 film)|Mili]]'' (1975) and ''[[Sholay]]'' (1975).

Following her marriage to actor [[Amitabh Bachchan]] and the birth of their children, she restricted her work in films, making an exception only for ''[[Silsila (1981 film)|Silsila]]'' (1981). After a 17-year sabbatical, she returned to acting with [[Govind Nihalani]]'s ''[[Hazaar Chaurasi Ki Maa]]'' in 1998. Since then, she has appeared in films like ''[[Fiza]]'' (2000), ''[[Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...]]'' (2001) and ''[[Kal Ho Naa Ho]]'' (2003), all which garnered her critical acclaim and awards.

==Career==
Jaya Bachchan is an [[alumnus]] of the [[Film and Television Institute of India]]. She first starred in [[Satyajit Ray]]'s Bengali film, [[Mahanagar]] (1963) at the age of 15, with [[Anil Chatterjee]] and [[Madhabi Mukherjee]].She then appeared in two more Bengali films: a 13-minute short ''Suman'',<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=rudraa&e=com|title=HugeDomains.com - RudRaa.com is for sale (Rud Raa)|website=www.hugedomains.com|accessdate=17 December 2019}}</ref> and the comedy [[Dhanyee Meye]] (1971), where she played the role of [[Uttam Kumar]]'s sister-in-law.<ref name=da>[[#Da|Dawar, p. 56]]</ref>

Inspired by her experience with Ray, she joined the [[Film and Television Institute of India]] (FTII), [[Pune]] and graduated with the gold medal.<ref>[[#Gu|Gulzar, p. 526]]</ref> [[Hrishikesh Mukherjee]] cast her to play the eponymous role of [[Guddi (1971 film)|Guddi]], a petite school girl obsessed with film star [[Dharmendra]].<ref name=ba>[[#Ba|Banerjee, p. 93]]</ref> Guddi was a commercial success,<ref name=da/> and created the [[Girl next door|girl-next-door]] image for her, which she was often associated with through the rest of her career. While she did venture out to play glamorous roles as in ''[[Jawani Diwani]]'', (1972)<ref name="Gulzar, p. 457"/> and a semi-negative character of an amnesia-faking heroine in ''[[Anamika (1973 film)|Anamika]]'' (1973), she was most recogniszed for her roles epitomising middle-class sensibility, which she played amiably in films of "middle-cinema" directors such as [[Gulzar]], [[Basu Chatterjee]] and indeed [[Hrishikesh Mukherjee]].<ref>[[#Gu|Gulzar, p. 91]]</ref> These films include ''[[Uphaar]]'' (1971), ''[[Piya Ka Ghar]]'' (1972), ''[[Parichay (film)|Parichay]]'' (1972), ''[[Koshish]]'' (1972) and ''[[Bawarchi]]'' (1972).<ref name="ba" /><ref>[[#Gu|Gulzar, p. 396]]</ref> They also made her a popular star.<ref name="da" />

In Gulzar's ''[[Koshish]]'' (1973), Bhaduri and [[Sanjeev Kumar]] played a deaf couple who struggle through their difficulties as handicapped people. She described the film as "a learning experience" which motivated her to do social work in future.<ref>{{cite news|date=23 August 1998|newspaper=[[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]]|title=I will not allow anyone to dictate terms to me|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/1998/98aug23/sunday/head.htm|accessdate=19 September 2011|author=Maheshwari, Belu}}</ref>

She first acted with [[Amitabh Bachchan]] in ''[[Bansi Birju]]'' (1972), followed by [[B.R. Ishara]]'s ''[[Ek Nazar]]'' also in the same year.<ref name=da/> When Amitabh had faced a string of flops and most lead heroines refused to work with him in the [[Salim–Javed]] scripted ''[[Zanjeer (1973 film)|Zanjeer]]'' (1973), she agreed to step in.

==Controversies==

Bachchan's speech during the musical launch of the film [[Drona (2008 film)|Drona]] in the second half of 2008 was criticised by some sections of politicians in [[Maharashtra]]. In response to the film's director, Goldie Behl, making his introductory speech in English, she said in Hindi, "Hum [[Uttar Pradesh|UP]] ke log hain, isliye [[Hindi]] mein baat karenge, [[Maharashtra]] ke log maaf kijiye". (Translation: "We are people from [[Uttar Pradesh|UP]], so we will speak in Hindi. People of [[Maharashtra]], please excuse us.") Subsequently, she encouraged actress [[Priyanka Chopra]] to speak in [[Hindi]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://specials.rediff.com/movies/2008/sep/08video1.htm |title=Jaya Bachchan's controversial clip|publisher=Rediff|date=8 September 2008|accessdate=28 July 2010}}</ref> [[Maharashtra Navnirman Sena]] (MNS) president [[Raj Thackeray]] commented that she had no business referring to all the people of Maharashtra in her statement. He threatened to ban all Bachchan films unless she apologised in a public forum for hurting the sentiments of Maharashtrians. MNS workers began to attack theatres screening ''[[The Last Lear]]'', which starred her husband. [[Shiv Sena]] [[Member of Parliament|MP]] Sanjay Raut also criticised her statement, "After making all your success and fortune in Mumbai, if you feel like saying that we are from UP, it's very unfortunate". Amitabh Bachchan tendered an apology for her statement on her behalf.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2008/sep/11raj.htm |title=Raj Thackeray: I accept Amitabh's apology |publisher=Rediff|date=11 September 2008|accessdate=11 September 2008}}</ref>
