Jaya Bachchan is known to speak her mind. But it often doesn't go down well with the parties concerned. And this time she seems to have hurt Shah Rukh Khan's feelings. At an event earlier in the week, JB told media, "HNY is the most nonsensical film I've seen in recent years. I said that to the film's lead actor as well. I watched it only because Abhishek was part of it. I told him he's a great actor if he can act stupid in front of the camera like that. I can't be part of what is being done in films these days and hence I don't do films anymore,"

The senior actress was just voicing her opinion, which she had already shared with SRK, but when it was said on a public platform, it offended everyone connected to the film. Even though they have a song called 'Nonsense Ki Night' in the film, her calling the film 'nonsense' didn't go down with the team.

When the reports of what Mrs B had said at the event began filtering in, Big B sent a text message to SRK apologizing on his wife's behalf and explaining that she didn't mean to insult him or the film. He felt it was needed because their family friendship aside, it is their son Abhishek Bachchan who has received maximum applause for Happy New Year. Adds an insider, "Later that night, Abhsiehk and Aishwarya came to Shah Rrukh bhai's house to apologize to the star directly." But it is learnt that Gauri greeted the couple and spend time with them, but SRK did not meet them.

In 2010, in an interview to People magazine when Jaya Bachchan was asked if she didn't hold it against Shah Rukh for the unflattering things he had said about Aishwarya Rai during his by-now-famous brawl with Salman Khan, she had responded with, "Of course, I do. I haven't had the opportunity to discuss it with him, and I am going to speak to him about it. If he was at my home, I would have slapped him, just as I would my own son." Even at the time relations between the two families were strained. And Big B had stepped in to soothe ruffled feathers.
