  "account": "Amitabh Bachchan resides in a bungalow called Jalsa in Mumbai, an iconic address with Warli art sketches on its cream walls and brown gates. Every Sunday evening, the legend performs his Sunday darshan routine outside the bungalow. Legend Rajesh Khanna, aka Kaka, lived in a bungalow called Aashirwad, just a few meters away from Bachchan's Jalsa. In Khanna's lifetime, Aashirwad was a prominent location due to his popularity in the 70s. The film Aradhana, directed by Shakti Samanta, is one of Khanna's most iconic movies. After Khanna's career ended and Bachchan dominated Hindi cinema, the two actors became civil with one another and even did a photo shoot together. Interestingly, Bachchan's daughter Shweta Nanda is friends with Khanna's younger daughter, Rinke Saran, and Dimple Kapadia and Jaya Bachchan share a strong bond. Although Twinkle Khanna never had a good impression of the Bachchan family, Akshay Kumar is very close to the Big B. Recently, Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda even dated Simar Bhatia, who is Kumar's niece, in the film *Sriram Raghavan's* war drama *Ikkis*. The rivalry between Amitabh and Rajesh Khanna, once fierce, now appears more anecdotal. This story provides a nostalgic heartwarming experience for true filmy buffs.",
