Amitabh Bachchan’s Sunday Darshan: The crowd that gathers every Sunday outside Amitabh Bachchan's bungalow 'Jalsa' in Mumbai's picturesque Juhu area has now been called a historical site, where a huge crowd of Amitabh Bachchan fans and followers eagerly wait for that moment. This ritual is called 'Sunday Darshan' and the person they come to see is none other than Amitabh Bachchan.
Last Sunday was no different. But this time, there was something that touched everyone a little more deeply. Something that was forever and never to be forgotten.
A fan in the crowd stood with his hand raised for hours, and his hands became numb and pained several times due to constantly keeping his hands up. As soon as Amitabh Bachchan noticed him, he extended his hand to show him a tattoo—no ordinary design, but a very intricate, beautiful portrait of Amitabh Bachchan's face, inked on his skin forever. His deep emotion and pure devotion were evident in the tattoo. It told a story that could be much bigger than the pictures. Amitabh also raised his arm to express his love and thanks. Overwhelmed with the portrait of himself tattooed on his hand, Amitabh later shared the photo on his official blog, expressing his heartfelt gratitude. He wrote, "Always in love, filled with gratitude and affection. Life is sweet and moving on... to the next life?"
Amitabh Bachchan Shares Heartfelt Moments at Jalsa
In the same blog post, he uploaded several more photos—of greeting a huge crowd with folded hands, waving happily, and showing the sacred temple corner of his home, which gives him strength. He also shared a close-up of the nameplate at the gate of his bungalow 'Jalsa', which has become a pilgrimage spot for fans over the years. In a very touching picture, another fan is seen presenting a bright red shawl to the superstar as a symbol of love and good luck.
Amitabh has written earlier that whenever he meets his fans outside Jalsa, he removes his shoes. He considers it an act of devotion, expressing a sacred feeling. For him, Sunday Darshan is more than just a meet and greet. This tradition has been going on for more than four decades. Fans of Amitabh ji of all ages, children, old, young, boys, girls, come from far-off cities and villages every week, standing outside Amitabh's bungalow for hours. Just to exchange a few seconds of eye contact and a wave, a namaste. Imagine, so much eagerness to exchange a hand wave, a smile, or maybe even a glance from the legendary actor?? It is a sacred commitment.
In one of his old blogs, he poetically explained how the atmosphere has changed over time. He wrote that nowadays, people no longer scream in excitement, but only raise their mobile phones in silent amazement, and those cheers have been replaced by clicks and videos. He said that this is a sign that time keeps moving forward and nothing lasts forever, yet they keep coming every Sunday simply out of love.
Amitabh's fans are not just crazy and enamored of his acting; they also worship him. Over the years, countless stories of this 'extraordinary fan devotion' have emerged. Some people have built temples in his name, women fast for his health, and fans from even other countries learned Hindi just to understand his dialogue delivery. People remember when he met with an accident on the sets of 'Coolie' in 1982; the entire nation held its breath while he was hospitalized. Mass prayers were offered in temples, mosques, and churches. This kind of affection has stayed with him for decades and is only growing stronger.
This Sunday, the latest act of devotion by Amitabh's fans, standing for hours holding a red shawl in their hands and also showing a tattoo of Amitabh's portrait on their arms, once again proves how strong and personal the bond between the superstar and his fans is.
Amitabh, who is in his early 80s, is equally active in cinema. His most recent film, 'Vettaiyan', is his first appearance in a Tamil-language film. The film featured some of the biggest names from South India, including Rajinikanth, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Ritika Singh, and others. Directed by T.J. Gnanavel, the film is widely praised not only for its strong performances but also for bridging cinematic cultures across India. For Bachchan, this film marks a new chapter in his illustrious film career. A move that many said reflects his never-ending hunger to scale new artistic heights.
