Mumbai’s relentless downpour has reached the doorstep of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan. Videos circulating online show severe waterlogging outside his Juhu residence’s Jalsa, which claims that the actor himself is spotting clearing water with a wiper.
Though this claim remains unverified, the images of knee-deep flooding at the superstar’s properties highlight how even the city’s most exclusive localities are struggling under the weight of the monsoon. Pratiksha, Bachchan’s earlier residence where Abhishek and Aishwarya’s Rai wedding was held, has seen its premises inundated.
A video shared by a fan shows the lane submerged and staff working hard to manage the situation. The same clip also captures an entrance of Jalsa, where Bachchan currently lives with his family, blocked by floodwaters. Guards at the bungalow were seen quickly shutting the gates when the bystanders began filming.
Jalsa is a 10,000 square feet, two-story residence and remains one of Mumbai’s most iconic celebrity homes. Bachchan also owns another property in the city, including Janak. (ANI)
