Mumbai Rains Flood Amitabh Bachchan’s Iconic Prateeksha Bungalow – Viral Photos Leave Fans Heartbroken

Mumbai has been battered by relentless rains for the past three days, turning the city into a waterlogged chaos. Streets, homes, and even the residences of Bollywood’s biggest stars have not been spared. Among the worst hit is the legendary Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic bungalow, Prateeksha, which has been submerged under knee-deep water, both inside and outside the premises.

Stunning images and videos of the flooded bungalow have gone viral on social media, causing a wave of concern among fans. In one clip, a man jokes about Big B himself stepping out with a wiper to tackle the water, but the situation is no laughing matter for Bachchan admirers, who are deeply saddened by the sight of their idol’s cherished home under threat.

Located in Mumbai’s upscale Juhu area, Prateeksha is the oldest and most beloved property of the Bachchan family. It holds special memories, being the place where Amitabh’s children, Abhishek and Shweta, were born, and where his parents, Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Teji Bachchan, lived. Even after moving to their current residence, Jalsa, Prateeksha remains close to Big B’s heart.

The recent deluge has not only disrupted the lives of ordinary Mumbaikars but also brought Bollywood’s glitterati to a standstill. Film shoots have been canceled, and stars are battling the same flooding woes as everyone else. The viral images of Prateeksha, valued at around ₹50 crore, have sparked a flood of reactions online, with many commenting that Mumbai’s infamous rains spare no one—celebrity or commoner.

Two years ago, Prateeksha made headlines when it was reported that Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan had transferred ownership of their beloved bungalow to their daughter, Shweta Bachchan. Today, seeing this historic home inundated has left fans nostalgic and concerned.

As Mumbai continues to fight against the fury of nature, the sight of Amitabh Bachchan’s Prateeksha submerged in water serves as a reminder that even the biggest stars are not immune to the city’s challenges.
