Amitabh Bachchan meets fans at Jalsa without bulletproof glass
The 84-year-old actor greeted admirers on Sunday and shared an update regarding physical discomfort in his writing hand.
Actor Amitabh Bachchan met fans outside his Mumbai bungalow, Jalsa, on November 8 for his 'Sunday Darshan' ritual. According to India Today, the 84-year-old star greeted admirers and wished them a happy Diwali without the bulletproof glass used during his last appearance.
Abhishek Bachchan and producer Bunty Walia were present to oversee security during the interaction. This was the second such appearance since a threatening letter was sent to the Mumbai Mayor mentioning Bachchan and other celebrities.
Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant commented on the removal of the glass, stating that only Bachchan could answer if the decision was due to the threat being over or to reflect poorly on the government. Sawant also claimed Bollywood celebrities are living in fear of criminals in Sabarmati jail.
Earlier on Sunday, Bachchan posted a health update on his personal blog. He apologised for the delay in responding to well-wishers, explaining that he has been experiencing physical discomfort in his writing hand.
The actor noted that the discomfort made it difficult to personally reply to the many gifts and greetings he has received. He also mentioned that he has not been filming his television game show, Kaun Banega Crorepati, for the past few days.
