While sitting down for a conversation with the talk show host, Jaya Bhattacharya revealed that being born as a girl child felt like the biggest misfortune. She also shared that her parents were in a toxic marriage. “They didn’t get along, and that conflict trickled down to the child. My mother wasn’t happy; her dreams never got fulfilled, so whatever she could give me was incomplete.”
She further added, “I have been beaten with a hunter, rolling pin, tongs, shoes, and what not. I have been beaten a lot, and that made me stubborn. In the bargain, I have damaged myself a lot.”
The actress claimed that despite her sour relationship with her mother, she got along with her father.
