Amitabh Bachchan greets fans outside Jalsa amid bomb threat
The Story in Brief
Amitabh Bachchan stepped out of his Juhu residence Jalsa on Sunday (25 October 2026) to greet fans despite a bomb threat email allegedly targeting the veteran actor. The 84-year-old actor was accompanied by his son Abhishek Bachchan. Mumbai Police personnel were deployed near the bungalow, and fans were kept at a distance from the gates.
The bomb threat email was reported to Mumbai Police on Friday (23 October 2026). It was received by a school in Bandra-Kurla Complex. News9Live reports the BMC mayor's office also received a threat email targeting Bachchan, singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh and several city-based schools. An investigation is underway.
The actor, who is hosting 'Kaun Banega Crorepati', has been advised rest. In a Tumblr post on Friday (23 October 2026), he wrote: 'Yet more rest needed.. adjusting.. thinking and wondering.. the human body and its uniqueness.'

The coverage is consistent straight reporting across outlets, with the only variation being which detail each chooses to lead with. The investigation into the email, and the actor's recovery, remain open points.
