Amitabh Bachchan's house: In November last year, Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan grabbed headlines by gifting his opulent Rs 50 crore bungalow, Prateeksha, located in Mumbai's posh Juhu neighbourhood, to his daughter Shweta Bachchan.

Having been married for three years by that time, this bungalow marked the beginning of their journey as a family home. Amitabh reminisced in one of his blogs, 'The day in 1976 we moved into the first house that this generation had ever bought and built, and called its own." When Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai's daughter Aaradhya Bachchan was born Over the years, Prateeksha has been the backdrop to many cherished family memories. It's where their children, Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan, were raised, and also the venue for Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai's wedding festivities. Even after the family shifted to their current home, Jalsa, they maintained the tradition of bringing their daughter Aaradhya to Prateeksha first following her birth. Amitabh had mentioned it in his blog, writing, 'Today, we brought bitiya (Aaradhya) home. We are very happy. Hamare ghar Laxmi aayi hai, Abhishek, Aishwarya and bitiya are all well and in good health. Life changes when a new life comes to your house. I would say Laxmi Ratna has arrived in our house." Amitabh Bachchan gifted Prateeksha to daughter Shweta Bachchan As per a report by Moneycontrol, the property that covers two plots of 890.47 sq m and 674 sq m was handed to Shweta Bachchan through a gift deed on November 8, 2023.
