Amitabh Bachchan follows a Sunday tradition of meeting fans gathered outside his Mumbai residence, Jalsa. However, on November 1, the actor's fans witnessed an unusual sight as he greeted them from inside a transparent, bulletproof enclosure.
His son, Abhishek Bachchan, accompanied him during the interaction and stood a little behind him, keeping an eye on the crowd. Security personnel were also stationed nearby as the veteran actor waved to fans waiting outside his Juhu residence.
