Every Sunday, a sea of fans gathers outside Amitabh Bachchan’s Mumbai residence, Jalsa, hoping to catch a glimpse of the megastar. The actor also doesn’t shy away from coming outside and greeting them warmly. Recently, Amitabh shared that several fans visited his house last Sunday, despite heavy rainfall in Mumbai. Taking to his blog, Big B wrote that he bowed down to thank those fans and prayed for them.
The actor took to his blog and shared a series of photos of himself waving to fans, with many people standing in the rain outside his house. “Musla dhar barish, lekin woh khade rahe, ade rahe. Iss sneh ka mere paas koi uttar nahi, na koi shabd (It was torrential rains but they stood there, didn’t budge. I don’t have any answer to this love, no words),” he wrote.
Amitabh Bachchan also mentioned that he even requested fans to go back home as it was raining, but they stood there firmly. “Bas Ishwar ki kripa bani rahe-mujh par nahi-unpar jinka sneh koi bhi barish rok nahi sakti. Bohut kaha ki ghar jao, paani baras raha hai, lekin nahi. Khade rahe, ade rahe. Main natmastak hoon unke saamne (Let God’s grace be there, not on me, but on those whose love can’t be stopped by any rain. I asked them to go home, it’s raining, but no, they stood there. I bow down to them).” Big B added.
The actor thanked them and continued, “The rain in the most heavy downpour .. and they stand there in disciplined respect .. no not they .. I .. I express my respect to them ..from adjoining buildings they wave their love .. i try to notice them .. and ever attempt .. they acknowledge .. it is a moving feel.”
“I do not wish to turn away .. but the rain .. they are getting wet .. when I turn away they shall too and avoid getting wet .. This be my home , my place , my residence .. for years it has been the gateway for the thousands that come – just for a glance ! This be the blessings of the Almighty .. may this affection and love from them, ever be .. my respect and my love ever,” he concluded the blog post.
On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan has films like Section 84, the sequel of Kalki 2898 AD, and Brahmastra Part 2: Dev in the pipeline. He will also be seen in the next season of Kaun Banega Crorepati this year.
