Opposition parties staged a walkout from the Rajya Sabha on August 09 after a bitter war of words between Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan and Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. Jaya Bachchan confronted VP Dhankhar over tone, and then Rajya Sabha Chairman swiftly reminds her— "You may be a celebrity, but decorum must be maintained."

On August 5, a light scuffle occurred between Jaya Bachchan and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar over a dispute about her surname. Dhankhar suggested that Bachchan could change her name through a formal process. 'Naam Badala Lijiye..", these were his words which infuriated Jaya Bachchan. In response, Bachchan dismissed the issue as a recent “drama,” indicating she believes the matter has been unnecessarily blown out of proportion. The disagreement highlights ongoing tensions regarding her surname and the procedural aspects associated with it. This incident underscores the complexities sometimes involved in formal legislative processes and personal identity matters.
