Veteran megastar Amitabh Bachchan continued his decades-long Sunday tradition of greeting fans outside his Mumbai residence, Jalsa, on November 1 under heightened security, appearing behind a newly installed bulletproof glass enclosure. The 84-year-old actor, who regularly steps onto an elevated podium to acknowledge gathering crowds, maintained his weekly ritual while adapting to strict protective protocols.
Visuals from the gathering show the actor waving and folding his hands in gratitude from behind the transparent protective barrier. Standing close by alongside security personnel, his son, actor Abhishek Bachchan, remained attentive to the surroundings throughout the interaction, ensuring the safety of the venue while his father acknowledged the gathering.
The elevated security measures follow a alarming threat email sent to Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde and senior officials, warning of potential explosive attacks targeting the Mayor’s office, singer Diljit Dosanjh’s concert venue, and Bachchan’s residence. The threat highlighted a vulnerability window between October 31 and November 27, prompting law enforcement agencies and Mumbai Police to escalate security protocols across high-profile locations.

Industry-wide security concerns have also escalated following a recent firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff in Juhu. Subsequent police investigations revealed that the suspects had conducted reconnaissance outside the residences of several prominent Bollywood personalities, including Jalsa, heightening the urgency for preventive measures.
In response to these developments, authorities implemented strict measures surrounding the property, including additional barricading, personnel deployment, and the protective glass shield. Despite the altered arrangements, Bachchan ensured his routine remained uninterrupted, sustaining his long-standing connection with admirers who gather outside his gates every week.
