Amitabh Bachchan’s Juhu Bungalow: Mumbai’s relentless monsoon has spared no one, not even megastar Amitabh Bachchan. His famous Juhu bungalow, Prateeksha, has been hit by the heavy downpour that has left large parts of the city waterlogged. Videos circulating on social media show the road outside the property, and even parts of the residence itself, submerged in ankle-deep water. Amitabh initially lived in Prateeksha with his parents, Harivansh Rai and Teji Bachchan, before moving to their current home Jalsa, just about a kilometre away. Despite shifting residence, Prateeksha remains iconic and deeply sentimental for the family. The actor later gifted this bungalow to his daughter Shweta Bachchan.

Amitabh Bachchan's bungalow Prateeksha is no ordinary house. It was Amitabh Bachchan’s first bungalow in Mumbai, bought in 1976 after the success of his landmark film Sholay. The property, today valued at more than ₹50 crore, holds a special place in the Bachchan family’s history. Both his children, Shweta Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, were born here. The name “Prateeksha” was chosen by his father, the legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan.

Meanwhile, the situation in Mumbai remains grim as heavy rains continue to lash the city. Roads are flooded, and videos online show commuters struggling to get to work. Offices, schools, and even air travel have been disrupted. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for Mumbai, predicting extremely heavy rainfall in isolated areas. Several other districts across Maharashtra, including Thane and Raigad, are also on red alert until August 21.
