Has Amitabh Bachchan gifted Juhu home Prateeksha to Shweta Bachchan? Here's what we know

Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan has reportedly gifted the iconic Prateeksha bungalow to his daughter Shweta Bachchan as a token of love. The property on 10th Road in Juhu Vile Parle Development scheme was transferred through two separate gift deeds for two plots registered on November 8.

The first plot, owned by Amitabh Bachchan and his Rajya Sabha MP wife, measures 9,585 square feet and is valued at ₹31.39 crore while the second plot in the name of Amitabh is spread over 7,254 square feet and is valued at ₹19.24 crore. The Bachchans paid a stamp duty of ₹50.65 lakh, the documents indicated.

Pratiksha was the first bungalow in Juhu purchased by the couple shortly after the success of blockbuster Sholay released in 1975. The two actors along with his father and poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan and mother Teji Bachchan lived in Pratiksha initially before moving to their present home Jalsa, one km away.

In July 2020 when a monsoon storm uprooted a Gulmohar tree in the garden of Pratiksha, Bachchan wrote in an emotional post in his popular blog that the tree was 43 years old, and it was a sapling when they purchased the bungalow. Apart from Pratiksha, the Bachchan family owns two-storied Jalsa spread across 10,125 square feet which was gifted to the actor by director Raj N Sippy as remuneration for his 1982-film Satte Pe Satta.

His latest purchase was in September 2023 of four office units on the 21st floor of the 28-storey Signature office tower on Veera Desai Road in Andheri for ₹28.73 crore. The collective carpet area of the four units spans 7,620 square feet.
