Amitabh Bachchan's birthday: Fans celebrate like a festival at Jalsa

Scores of fans gather outside Jalsa every day, some with a hope to catch a glimpse of Amitabh Bachchan, and some to just feel the aura of just visiting his bungalow, which has become like a tourist spot today. On Sunday, however, they are aware that if Big B is not shooting, he will definitely come out and give a ‘darshan’ to them by waving at them and greeting them. So, one can imagine what would be scenes in Juhu on the ‘Megastar’s birthday on October 11. As Amitabh Bachchan celebrated his 77th birthday on Friday, the Bachchan residence wore the look of a street decked up during festivals as fans carried placards, dressed in the get-ups of the thespian and celebrated as if it was their own family member’s birthday.
