In a clip shared on Instagram, Amitabh was seen standing near the gate of his residence as fans gathered around him. He folded his hands, smiled and waved at the sea of fans. For the meet, Amitabh wore a white kurta-pyjama and a pink and black jacket. He also wore a headgear.
As the camera panned towards the balcony of the house, Abhishek was seen standing there looking at Amitabh. He smiled and also waved at the crowd. As Amitabh met his fans and turned around to go back inside the house, Abhishek was seen still standing and looking at his father.
After meeting his fans, Amitabh shared a brief note on his blog on Sunday night. He wrote, "But the Sunday meet at the gate was as always awesome .. the numbers increase I think and the love even more .. I am so blessed." Every Sunday, hundreds of fans gather outside Amitabh's residence to get a glimpse of the actor. Since the past over 40 years, the actor has been making sure to meet them.
Earlier, in his blog, he shared that he always takes off his shoes before meeting his fans, describing it as a "devotion" for him to interact with his well-wishers. He wrote, "I do observe though that the numbers are in lesser magnitude and the enthusiasm has lessened and the screams of joy now transferred to the mobile camera .. and that is more evident now an indication that time has moved on and nothing lasts forever."
