“JALSA , the blessings of millions for my home , one that has given me roof for more than 3 decades .. one that has blessed my children in their days of birth and their days of wed ..
one where the children grew up .. one where their children are growing up,” he wrote.
“One that manifests the joys and happiness of the near and dear .. one that adheres to our living .. one that brings celebration and existence , in the togetherness of time .. ever,” he concluded.
Looking ahead: Fans will watch for how Bachchan continues to honor Dharmendra's memory while maintaining his cherished weekly connections with supporters.
