Amitabh Bachchan feels fans outside Jalsa were ‘a bit subdued’ this Sunday; plans to open gates earlier to lift up spirits: ‘It seems to be getting too late’

Amitabh Bachchan is one of the biggest stars in Bollywood, with a huge fan following that spans generations. For over 40 years, he has kept a special tradition alive — meeting his fans every Sunday outside his home in Juhu, Mumbai.

This weekly gathering, on Sunday, is a moment his fans eagerly await to catch a glimpse of the superstar and share a special connection with him.

Fans seemed “a bit subdued” this time

After the Sunday meet on 10 August 2025, Big B shared his honest feelings about the crowd on his blog. He noticed the fans seemed quieter than usual. “So back to work after the Sunday meet with the fans .. they were yesterday a bit subdued I felt, except the devoted dedicated ones,” he wrote.He thought about why the fans didn’t seem as lively. “Could be the delay in the time or that the evening draws a bit dark with it, and it seems to be getting too late .. but its the weather .. the dark clouds being in the shades ..” Amitabh added thoughtfully.

Plans to open gates earlier

Showing how much he cares, Bachchan suggested a way to improve the experience for fans. “Shall see if the gates can be done slightly early so the fans do not have to wait long,” he said.

Sharing memories through his blog

Along with his thoughts, the ‘Piku’ actor also shared pictures of fans outside Jalsa holding posters and waiting patiently. He also reflected on the joy he finds in writing his blog. “Each day a memory and the memory lasts the entire day - have I connected with the Blog or not .. and then suddenly the first matter you attend to is the fact of writing .. Once the ritual of its writing is done, the entire day draws on.”

Big B’s recent projects

On the work front in 2024, Amitabh Bachchan made his Tamil debut with the action drama ‘Vettaiyan’, directed by TJ Gnanavel. The film stars Rajinikanth, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier and others alongside him. He will reportedly next be seen in the movie ‘Section 84’.
