Jaya Bachchan’s ‘Jis thali mein khate hai’ Dialogue Fits Again — But for Bollywood’s Stars

Once in Parliament, Jaya Bachchan had famously said, “Jis thali mein khate hai usi mein ched karte hain”. After the recent Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, the way Pakistani artists have come out in support of their country, it seems that this line fits them perfectly.

Following Operation Sindoor, comments from actors like Fawad Khan, Hania Aamir, and Mahira Khan clearly show that they are the ones who "Jis thali mein khate hai usi mein ched karte hain”. They want to earn money from India, yet express loyalty and affection toward Pakistan.

However, one thing must be said in favor of these Pakistani artists — unlike many Bollywood stars who often maintain silence during such situations, at least these Pakistani celebrities openly stand with their country. And this time, apart from a cryptic post about numbers, even Amitabh Bachchan's silence is telling.

It seems Jaya Ji should once again repeat her “Jis thali mein khate hai usi mein ched karte hain” dialogue — not for the Pakistani artists this time, but for our very own Indian celebrities thought these Pakistani actors have earned fame and money in India, yet whenever something goes wrong involving India, they’re quick to stand with Pakistan — the country responsible for it.
