Throngs of admirers congregated outside the bungalow to catch a glimpse of the iconic star, who made a point to step out and greet them personally. This Sunday marked another year of the actor's tradition of visiting fans.\n\nAmitabh Bachchan expressed his gratitude to his adoring fans, wishing them a \"pranaam\" and \"shubhkaamnayein\" on the auspicious occasion. Despite recent hand discomfort that had slowed his efforts to personally pen letters to well-wishers, he made an exception by addressing the crowd using a microphone. Wishing everyone a life filled with happiness, peace, and prosperity, he said, \"Aap sab logon ko pranaam karta hoon. Diwali ki shubhkaamnayein bhejta hoon.

Aap sab logon ka bahut-bahut dhanyavaad.\"\n\nAmitabh was smiling, waving, and folding his hands as he interacted with the audience, with his son, actor Abhishek Bachchan, keeping a watchful eye on his father. Security personnel were present outside the residence to ensure a safe gathering. The actor had previously shared that his hand discomfort had delayed his ability to personally write letters to fans who had sent gifts.",
