Greeting fans outside Mumbai’s Jalsa bungalow is a Sunday routine for Amitabh Bachchan which he rarely misses.

Sharing the beautiful reason behind being barefoot while meeting fans, he wrote, ‘They ask me somewhat contentiously .. ‘who goes out to meet fans bare feet’ ? I tell them : ‘I do .. you go to the temple bare feet .. my well wishers on Sunday are my temple’ !! ‘You got a problem with that !!!’ (sic).’

In his blog, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, ‘The human speaks and thinks with speed now .. the expression and the brevity of the express .. the understanding by the other in no uncertain terms and conditions, that this is what it is .. take or leave .. and when they have left the environ of discuss you sit and wonder where we are all going (sic)...’

He added, ‘Going certainly not for the GATE at JALSA tomorrow, for .. there is work on location which can only be given permission for on a Sunday .. There shall be effort of course to return in time for the 5:45pm at Jalsa .. but there could be a delay or a non-appearance.. so a warning in advance to keep away (sic)...’
