6 Oct
Summary
- A fan visited Amitabh Bachchan's Jalsa residence with his mother.
- They waited for five hours to catch a glimpse of the actor.
- Bachchan warmly responded to the fan's heartfelt experience.
During the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 18, a contestant named Subhoto Bhattacharya recounted an emotional visit to Amitabh Bachchan's Mumbai home, Jalsa. Bhattacharya, accompanied by his mother, traveled to Mumbai in 2024 and made it a point to visit Jalsa, knowing Bachchan's tradition of meeting fans. They arrived at noon on a Sunday, anticipating Bachchan's appearance at 5 PM.
Upon arrival, they were met with an overwhelming 'sea of fans,' an experience Bhattacharya described as unprecedented. He stated they waited outside Jalsa from midday until 5 PM, when the actor finally appeared. This long wait and the eventual 'darshan' left an indelible mark on Bhattacharya, who shared the experience with the megastar.
Amitabh Bachchan was visibly moved by the story. With his characteristic warmth, he expressed that if he had known they were coming, he would have opened the gates. He also affectionately addressed Subhoto's mother, inviting her to inform him in advance for future visits, highlighting the enduring tradition of his Sunday gatherings.
This long-standing tradition, dating back to 1982, sees fans congregating outside Bachchan's residence every Sunday to catch a glimpse of the beloved actor. The recent episode served as a poignant reminder of the deep connection Bachchan shares with his devoted fan base.
