Amitabh Bachchan says he is facing discomfort in writing letters to thank fans for their gifts, extends them wishes on Diwali

He greeted fans without bulletproof glass and said gifts from well-wishers are piling up as health concerns delayed his thank-you notes.

  • On Sunday, November 8, Amitabh Bachchan greeted fans outside his Mumbai residence, Jalsa, for Diwali, appearing without the bulletproof enclosure used during his previous interaction.
  • Amid health struggles, Bachchan acknowledged experiencing physical discomfort and apologized to well-wishers for communication delays, confessing he is unable to help the situation.
  • Writing on his blog, Bachchan stated he is "slowly getting back to the routine," with Sony Entertainment Television confirming he will resume hosting duties after November 11, resuming new episodes on November 16.
  • Following a threatening email received by Mumbai Police, security arrangements were provided outside the Juhu residence, though Bachchan appeared alongside his son Abhishek Bachchan to maintain his Sunday tradition.
  • Health concerns first emerged last month when Bachchan was advised to rest and adjust his routine; the actor was last seen in the 2024 Tamil film Vettaiyan.
