Amitabh Bachchan greets fans amid security after bomb threat, says he needs more rest

On Sunday, Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan made a public appearance at his Juhu residence, Jalsa, to greet enthusiastic fans, maintaining a regular weekly tradition. The event took place amid heightened security following a reported bomb threat, for which the Mumbai Police were investigating. Amitabh's son, Abhishek Bachchan, was present alongside the veteran actor at the bungalow.

Fans assembled outside the residence, patiently awaiting a glimpse of the actor while standing behind police barricades. The incident followed a school in the Bandra-Kurla Complex area receiving a bomb threat email targeting Amitabh Bachchan, though it was unclear if the message specifically named Jalsa or his other residence, Prateeksha.

Earlier, Amitabh had shared an update on his Tumblr blog, stating he needed more rest for his ongoing recovery. Despite the health concern, he continued to interact with fans through his blog and social media. Amitabh Bachchan is currently involved in hosting the television quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati, and his last film appearance was in the 2024 Tamil film Vettaiyan, starring Rajinikanth.
