Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya Bachchan’s Houses
Amitabh Bachchan and family (Aaradhya Bachchan, Jaya, Abhishek, Aishwarya) have five bungalows (Jalsa, Prateeksha, Janak, Vatsa and a bungalow behind Jalsa), within walking distance of each other, at Juhu (JVPD), Mumbai.
- Jalsa: Located opposite Tulip Star Hotel (Juhu), “Jalsa” bungalow is where the Bachan family currently lives.
- New Bungalow behind Jalsa: In mid-2013, Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan bought the 8,000 sq ft bungalow behind Jalsa. This is their 5th bungalow in Juhu. Along with “Jalsa”, this will be an extended residence for the Bachchan family.
- Prateeksha: Is the first bungalow that Amitabh Bachchan bought in Juhu. Previously the Bachchan family, including Amitabh’s parents, lived at “Pratiksha”. The Metro railway line will pass near Prateeksha and this may be one reason for shifting to “Jalsa”. Amitabh Bachchan visits “Prateeksha” regularly to pray at the family temple which was hand built by his father, Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Amitabh has preserved both his father’s (Harivansh Rai Bachchan) and mother’s (Teji Bachchan) rooms just the way it was when they were alive.
- Janak: Located near “Jalsa”, “Janak” bungalow is the Bachchan’s office. The Bachchans regularly use the gym at “Janak”
- Vatsa: Located in Juhu, this Bachchan bungalow has been leased out to Citibank India.

In 2006, Jalsa was finally registered in the name of Jaya Bachchan.
