She also apparently took a dig at Jaya Bachchan
By mentioning the term, "Bollywood ki thali" in her post, Kangana took a dig at veteran actor and parliamentarian Jaya Bachchan. Bachchan had come out in support of the industry after Bollywood drugs controversy, and indirectly attacked Kangana saying, "Jis thali me khate hain ussi me chhed karte hain (you bite the hand that feeds you)." Kangana had criticized the industry over drugs case.

A brief about 'Tejas' and 'Dhaakad'
Kangana had earlier informed fans that she would kick-start the shoot for Sarvesh Mewara-directed Tejas in December this year. Dhaakad, on the other hand, has been directed by Razneesh Ghai. The movie was announced last year through a power-packed teaser, where Kangana was seen donning a fierce avatar, and relentlessly firing a machine gun in the backdrop of a battle scene.
