Every Sunday, a large crowd of fans gathers outside Amitabh Bachchan’s residence, Jalsa, hoping to catch a glimpse of the veteran actor. This long-standing tradition, known as ‘Sunday Darshan,’ has been ongoing for over 35 years. Amitabh has previously expressed that he meets his fans barefoot as he considers the meet to be a spiritual experience.
However, in a recent blog post, Amitabh explained why he had to wear shoes on a particular day. He also shared pictures of the devoted fans who had gathered outside, expressing sadness for the children who may not understand why they were waiting outside in the rain for him.
Taking to his blog, Amitabh said, “A big difference today .. SHOES .. shoes because , shooting bare feet, whole of yesterday , gave rise to a rise in what is generally referred to bumps in the foot .. named blisters .. a similar incident earlier had incapacitated the body for long so taking precaution .. so the temple is still the same, and next time round it shall be revered. The Sunday without shoes .. or rather without them .. yes yes yes .. they shall be without the next time.”
Sharing pictures of toddlers, Amitabh wrote, “Sunday GOJ bring the children of the God’s .. but poor ones .. they have no idea why they have been subjected to this ordeal .. and in rain.” He then added, “So .. oh there we are again .. on ‘so’ .. no really .. so I need to go and study my dialogues and lines for the morrow .. for the shoot.”
The veteran actor’s Sunday meet was halted for about two years owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. On the work front, Amitabh was last seen in the film Uunchai. He will next be seen in Project K. The film also stars Deepika Padukone and Prabhas.
