Shweta Bachchan Nanda marked her 50th birthday on Sunday surrounded by loved ones. On the occasion, her father and legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan took a trip down memory lane and recalled the day he and his wife, Jaya Bachchan, brought Shweta to their Mumbai home “Prateeksha” for the first time. He also revealed how the family celebrated the special day.

“A day filled with the love of family and the greetings and the hilarity of the ‘progress reports’ 🤣,” Bachchan wrote on his blog. “Birthdays galore… Shweta, the first born, and Nikhil her husband.. within a day of each other and the bringing in of the GOLDEN age – 50 years…!”

“At Prateeksha, she was brought to the home, our first home of our own, when she was barely 2, and Abhishek a few months old… and today to see them celebrate the day in the same home on the same table and surroundings… LIFE IS A WONDER… Children and grandchildren all together,” he noted. Amitabh has bequeathed the bungalow, Prateeksha, to his daughter last year. The bungalow is valued at approximately Rs 50.63 crore and holds a special place for the Bachchans. It was here that he lived there with his parents, Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Teji Bachchan. He owns two other bungalows in Mumbai – his current residence, Jalsa, and Janak.

“Family is the greatest bond… of love togetherness and the joys of each other… may it ever be in lasting… and the family at the GOJ…? they are supreme,” Bachchan added while sharing a few photos of him greeting his fans outside his home.

Shashi Tharoor: ‘Exit polls have gone overboard’

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is shocked by the exit poll numbers, which he believes do not reflect the ground reality. Despite campaigning on addressing people's issues, he expects the Congress to perform well with the support of the INDIA bloc. Tharoor doubts the exit poll predictions for South India and believes the BJP's vote share may increase slightly, but not as much as predicted.
