  "account": "On Sunday, Amitabh Bachchan greeted a large crowd of fans at his Juhu residence, Jalsa, after a recent bomb threat had led to heightened security measures. His son, Abhishek Bachchan, joined his father during the interaction. The Mumbai Police had deployed personnel to the area in response to a bomb threat email that was sent to a school in the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) area on Friday. It is unclear whether the threat specifically mentioned Bachchan's Jalsa or Prateeksha residence.\n\nBachchan has been following his weekly Sunday Darshan tradition, where he interacts with fans. The actor recently shared updates on his health, stating that he requires more rest as he recuperates. In a post on his Tumblr blog, he wrote, \"Yet more rest needed ... adjusting ... thinking and wondering ... the human body and its uniqueness.\"\n\nBachchan, who is currently hosting the quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati, was last seen in the 2024 Tamil film Vettaiyan, starring Rajinikanth. The Mumbai Police are investigating the bomb threat, and further details are awaited.",
