Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan delighted his admirers this Sunday by stepping out of his residence to greet his weekly gathering without any bulletproof glass barrier. While the previous weekend featured a protective glass shield between the veteran actor and the crowd following heightened security concerns, this week saw him drop the precaution entirely. The megastar has maintained this Sunday tradition of greeting his fans for several years, and this time he was accompanied by his son Abhishek Bachchan amid tight security arrangements.
Enhanced Security After Threat Emails
The strict security protocols around the actor were implemented back in October after Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde received an email containing a bomb threat targeting Amitabh Bachchan's residence as well as a concert venue featuring singer Diljit Dosanjh. Following this alarming communication, security agencies ramped up protective measures, which led to the installation of a bulletproof shield during a previous Sunday interaction that drew widespread public discussion and media attention.
Diwali Celebration Outside The Residence
On the festive occasion of Diwali, the actor appeared outside his home wearing a colorful jacket to wave at the enthusiastic crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of him. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as admirers cheered for the veteran actor. Standing right behind him throughout the interaction was his son and fellow actor Abhishek Bachchan, ensuring a strong family presence while the security personnel kept a close watch on the surroundings.
Personal Blog Message To Fans
The 84-year-old actor later took to his personal blog to extend warm Diwali wishes to his supporters. He mentioned that he has been receiving an overwhelming number of gifts from his admirers, making it increasingly difficult to find enough storage space inside his home to keep them all. The actor expressed deep gratitude for the constant outpouring of love and affection from people across the country.
Apology For Delayed Responses Due to Hand Pain
In the same blog post, the veteran star offered a heartfelt apology for the delay in responding to messages sent by his fans. He explained that he genuinely wanted to reply to everyone personally, but the hand he uses for writing has been experiencing some discomfort, which caused the delay. He concluded by wishing everyone prosperity, happiness, and divine protection on the auspicious occasion of Chaturdashi.
