Bollywood's megastar Amitabh Bachchan and actress Jaya Bachchan have generously gifted their luxurious bungalow, named "Prateeksha," located in the posh Juhu area of Mumbai, to their 49-year-old daughter Shweta Nanda Bachchan as a heartfelt gift.

According to reports in the Indian media, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan have bequeathed their Bangla "Prateeksha" to Shweta Nanda Bachchan in the cooperative housing society of Vile Parle in Mumbai. The estimated value of Prateeksha in Indian currency is approximately 50 crore rupees.

This Bangla, the first among the ancestral homes of the superstar couple, is spread over 674 square meters and consists of 2 plots covering 890.47 square meters.

Both actors initially resided in Prateeksha before moving to their current home, "Jalsa," with their father and poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan and mother Teji Bachchan.

The name "Prateeksha" was chosen by the superstar's father and poet, and there are references to it in some of his poems.
