Jaya protests TV `mischief` during Rekha oath
Samajwadi Party Rajya Sabha member Jaya Bachchan is fuming over the Rajya Sabha TV's cope with her while Bollywood actor Rekha was swearing in on Tuesday as a nominated member of the higher house, media reports said Wednesday.

Reports said Jaya Bachchan has complained to Hamid Ansari, who's the Rajya Sabha chairperson and Vice-President and said she was hurt that the camera panned on her during Rekha's swearing-in.

She was livid that her personal equation with Rekha, a Bollywood rival with whom her husband Amitabh Bachchan was romantically linked at one time, was sensationalized by none rather then the general public broadcaster.

The footage was picked up by the non-public TV channels to further sensationalize the coverage and present Rekha's oath taking with a little bit of Bollywood spice.

Jaya Bachchan, earlier reports said, had got her seat within the Rajya Sabha changed in order that she and Rekha weren't caught within the same frame during live coverage of the higher house.

Hamid Ansari reportedly has taken the complaint of Jaya Bachchan seriously and promised action, in step with TV reports.

During private award functions camera has often panned on either Rekha or Jaya during presentation of awards to either or them or to Amitabh Bachchan to play up at the past relationship between them, but what angered the Samajwadi leader is that state-run TV put the focal point on her during Rekha's oath taking.

Bollywood diva Rekha took oath as Rajya Sabha member on Tuesday and spent around nineteen minutes within the Upper House of the Parliament at the first day at her new workplace.
