However, amidst the glittering affair, a video circulating on social media captured a moment of subtle criticism by Moushumi Chatterjee aimed at Jaya Bachchan's interaction with the paparazzi. 

During a paparazzi session, Moushumi Chatterjee remarked, "Agar aap log nahi hote toh humara kya hota (What would have happened to us if you guys were not there?)," indirectly drawing comparisons to Bachchan's recent interactions with photographers.
