Amitabh Bachchan Gifts Juhu Bungalow Prateeksha To Daughter Shweta

In a gesture of familial generosity, legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan has officially handed over his iconic Juhu-based bungalow, Prateeksha, to his daughter, Shweta Bachchan. The transfer of ownership was formalized through a gift deed signed on November 8, accompanied by a payment of ₹50.65 lakh as stamp duty, according to a report by Money Control.

Prateeksha, nestled within the Vithal Nagar Cooperative Housing Society Ltd, spans across two plots with sizes measuring 890.47 sq m and 674 sq m, with a reported valuation of ₹50 crore, as per India Today. Situated merely a kilometer away from Amitabh Bachchan's residence, Jalsa, the bungalow holds a special place in the actor's heart.

Originally the first home purchased by Amitabh Bachchan, Prateeksha holds sentimental value as it was the residence where he lived with his parents, the renowned poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Teji Bachchan. Interestingly, the name 'Prateeksha' was bestowed upon the abode by the eminent poet himself.

During an episode of the 14th season of the quiz reality show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati,' Amitabh Bachchan shared the origin of the house's name, quoting a line from his father's poem that translates to, "This anticipation isn't for everyone but for someone special." Moreover, the bungalow holds significance as it was the venue for the marriage ceremony of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Amitabh Bachchan and his daughter Shweta Bachchan share an exceptional bond, evident from Shweta's heartfelt Instagram post on her father's 81st birthday, where she shared joyous pictures of them together, expressing, “Happy 81st Papa. Big shoes (and hugs) no one can ever manage to fill.”

Looking ahead, Amitabh Bachchan is set to grace the silver screen in the much-anticipated film 'Kalki 2898 - AD' alongside Prabhas and Deepika Padukone. Additionally, both Amitabh and Deepika will feature in the Hindi remake of 'The Intern.'

Capturing the essence of the celebratory moments during Amitabh Bachchan's birthday, Shweta Bachchan Nanda shared more pictures, expressing her wish that her father "may always be surrounded by love."
