When Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan’s daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, were discharged from the hospital, the family first went to the temple at their old family house of “Pratiksha”. Since Amitabh Bachchan’s parents had lived in “Prateeksha”, the family wanted to pay their respect to their ancestors with the newborn child. After visiting “Pratiksha”, the Bachchan family took their daughter to “Jalsa” where the family stays together.
Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow’s, Jalsa and Pratiksha, have become landmarks in Mumbai and are on the must-visit list for tourists visiting Juhu and Bombay’s Western suburbs. Both houses are located at a distance of 1 km from each other and are close to many Western Mumbai tourist places, such as Juhu Beach, Juhu ISKCON Temple, Prithvi Theatre, etc. Every year, on Bachchan family landmarks, such as Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday on October 11, large crowds of well-wishers and curious onlookers wait for hours outside his residence for a glimpse of him. On these occasions, Amitabh Bachchan makes an appearance to thank his supporters.
