Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan greeted fans from inside a transparent protective enclosure at his Mumbai residence, Jalsa, during his weekly public appearance.

Fans Continue Weekly Tradition

His son was also reportedly close by during the appearance. The arrangement reflects a balance between Bachchan’s long-standing connection with admirers and the need for tighter protection amid recent security alerts.
The protective enclosure allows the tradition to continue under more controlled conditions. Further details about the security assessment have not been provided.The new setup has quickly become a talking point among onlookers today.
