'Jaya and I decided...': Amitabh Bachchan reveals he will give his property worth Rs 3160 crore to...
The Bachchan family is one of the biggest Bollywood households, consisting of some iconic actors including Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. Amitabh and Jaya have ruled the cinema for ages. In 1973, the couple got married and were blessed with two kids — Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Nanda Bachchan. While Abhishek followed in his father's footsteps to become an actor, Shweta is an Indian columnist and author. Amitabh Bachchan is one of the wealthiest actors in the industry, with an impressive net worth of around Rs 1600 crore. With such wealth, the question that often arises is: who will inherit Big B and Jaya Bachchan's properties? Recently, an old video of Amitabh Bachchan has gone viral where he revealed how he wishes to divide his properties after his death.
In a 2011 interview with Rediff, Amitabh Bachchan said, 'I would not differentiate between Abhishek and Shweta. When I die, whatever little I have will be equally divided between my daughter and my son — there is no differentiation. Jaya and I decided on that a long time back. Everybody says that the girl is paraya dhan, she goes to her husband's house, but in my eyes, she is our daughter; she has the same rights Abhishek has.'
In 2007, Abhishek Bachchan tied the knot with Aishwarya Rai, and the couple was blessed with a daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. On the other hand, Shweta married Nikhil Nanda, the son of Raj Kapoor's daughter Ritu Nanda and Rajan Nanda. The couple has two children — a son, Agastya Nanda, and a daughter, Navya Naveli.
Coming to Abhishek Bachchan's work front, the actor will be seen in King alongside Shah Rukh Khan. More details about the film are awaited.

Ballerina box office prediction day 1: Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves' John Wick spinoff may earn around Rs 8 crore in India
Ballerina box office prediction day 1: Ballerina, which hit the screens in India on June 13, has created a fair deal of buzz among fans with its stylish trailer. The fact that it is set in the same universe as Keanu Reeves' John Wick films too has added to the curiosity around it. These factors are likely to help it open to a good response at the Indian box office. Ballerina box office prediction day 1: A good star on the cards Ana de Armas is in the limelight because of her latest film Ballerina, which arrived in theatres in India today. According to Ramesh Bala, a trade analyst, the action thriller is set to collect between Rs 5 crore to Rs 8 crore on the first day. 'It is a spinoff of John Wick. Reeves' film is popular here. Therefore, I see it grossing between Rs 5 crore and 8 crore. It will do well in the South especially as it faces no competition,' he told Indiatimes. Ballerina is unlikely to face competition from Housefull 5, which was released last week, as both films cater to different audiences. The former is meant for an urban youth audience. The latter, on the other hand, caters more the family audiences. Thug Life too won't be a problem for Ballerina as it has failed to impress even Kamal Haasan's ardent fans. About Ballerina Ballerina is an action thriller directed by Len Wiseman. It revolves around the life of an assassin and is a sidequel to . John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. It stars Ana de Armas, Gabriel Byrne, Norman Reedus, Keanu Reeves, and the late Lance Reddick.
