Living next door to a superstar sounds unreal. But for Mumbai resident Nirmit Jesrani, it’s everyday life, except last Sunday, when it turned into a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Jesrani, who stays right beside Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic Juhu bungalow Jalsa, recently went viral after sharing a behind-the-scenes video of Big B’s famous Sunday fan greeting. What started as a simple neighbourhood clip soon changed his life, it landed him a personal meeting with the Shahenshah of Bollywood himself.

So, who exactly is Nirmit Jesrani, and how did he end up meeting Amitabh Bachchan?

Recently, Jesrani posted an Instagram video showing a rare inside glimpse of the Sunday tradition from his vantage point. The clip quickly spread across social media, with fans loving the close and candid view of the megastar.

Little did he know, the video would reach Bachchan’s team.

How did the meeting happen?

After the video went viral, Jesrani received a message from Amitabh Bachchan’s team inviting him to Jalsa.

He was given an appointment at 5 pm and called in to meet the actor personally.

Sharing the moment, Jesrani said he could hardly believe it.

“I finally met Amitabh Bachchan, the Shahenshah of Bollywood. I can't believe it. I can never forget today’s moment. Meri khushi ka toh thikana nahi hai,” he said in the video.

What happened during the meeting?

The meeting turned out to be even more special than he had imagined.

Jesrani not only met Bachchan but also got photographs and an autograph. He watched the Sunday darshan from inside the premises and saw the ritual unfold up close.

One small gesture touched him deeply.

“When I went to touch his feet, he stopped me and asked me not to. He also obliged for photos. He is very humble and down-to-earth,” Jesrani shared.

It’s these simple acts, fans say, that explain why Bachchan continues to be loved across generations.

How much is Jalsa worth?

Amitabh Bachchan’s home Jalsa is one of Mumbai’s most famous celebrity residences. Located in Juhu, the property is estimated to be worth between Rs 100 crore and Rs 120 crore.

Every Sunday, crowds gather outside the bungalow just to catch a glimpse of the star, a tradition Bachchan has followed for years without fail.

For Nirmit Jesrani, being a neighbour means a front-row seat to this weekly spectacle. But now, it also means a memory he’ll cherish for life.

What’s next for Amitabh Bachchan?

On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in Vettaiyan alongside Rajinikanth. He will next appear in the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD and the courtroom drama Section 84.
