Its price is Rs 50 crore and the actor gifted it to his daughter Shweta Bachchan in November 2024 and made a lot of headlines. However this is not his second property.

Amitabh Bachchan had asked his mother Teji Bachchan and father poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan to live together in this bungalow. Both children were born here. The actor had told in an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati Pratiksha is a very beautiful name. People ask me why did you name your house Pratiksha but I tell them that I did not choose it my father chose it. I had asked my father why did you name it Pratiksha he has a poem in which there is a line - Swagat Sabke Liye Hai Par Nahi Hain Kisi Ke Liye Pratiksha. Amitabh Bachchan also got Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan married in the same bungalow in 2007. They got married following North South and Bengali rituals. Apart from this Aaradhya was also first brought to Pratiksha after birth. Because by then the Bachchan family had shifted to Jalsa the bungalow they live in now. But after Aaradhya was born they did not take her directly to Jalsa. They first brought her to Pratiksha to seek the blessings of their late great-grandparents. Amitabh Bachchan and his entire family shifted to Jalsa after the death of his parents . After his mothers death in 2007 this bungalow was closed and it was locked for two decades. He kept this house as it was. He kept the memories of his parents alive.
