Amitabh Bachchan greeted fans from behind a three-sided, transparent bullet-proof enclosure outside his Mumbai residence, Jalsa, on Sunday, as threats against Bollywood stars pushed security to a new level around the megastar.

For years, Sunday has meant one thing at Jalsa in Juhu. Fans travel from different parts of the country, crowd the gate and wait for the actor to step out and wave. The superstar has kept that routine going for decades. This Sunday, the picture looked different. Bachchan stood inside a protective glass structure that covered him from three sides, and the change was impossible to miss.

The shift follows a run of alarming events in Mumbai. Reports describe a firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff, and separately, bomb threats that reached Bachchan’s residence. Police reportedly increased security around the house after those developments. The reports also point to a broader pattern, with gangsters issuing warnings aimed at leading male stars over recent months, and several actors now reinforcing their own protection.

Bachchan did not cancel the meeting. He walked out, took his place behind the glass and raised his hands to the crowd. His son Abhishek Bachchan stood next to him and kept an eye on the surroundings. The actor kept the ritual intact while accepting the protection that now surrounds him.

The hit list claim

The security talk took a sharper turn after a wave of online chatter. Following the firing incident linked to Tiger Shroff, a claim spread that Bachchan was also on the hit list of the Bishnoi gang. The report that carried these details presents this as a circulating claim, and it does not confirm the allegation. Still, the claim was enough to fuel fear among fans and to draw attention to the glass barrier that now stands between the actor and his admirers.

A social media post shared on November 1 added to the conversation. The post, by a user identified as SZN, carried the hashtags Amitabh Bachchan, Tiger Shroff, Bishnoi Gang, Bulletproof and Security. It framed the scene simply: the megastar, behind bulletproof glass, meeting fans at his home every Sunday. The post spread quickly among those following the story, and the image of the superstar behind protective glass became the defining visual of the day.

Fans split between joy and worry

The crowd that gathered at Jalsa reacted with a mix of emotions. Some were thrilled to see the actor again and watched him wave with the same warmth they have always known. Others felt something heavier. Many fans said they were saddened that a star who once met people without barriers now needs a shield to do the same thing.

Even within security limits, Amitabh Bachchan continued his Sunday tradition without letting his fans down, waving from behind the bullet-proof glass.

That tension sits at the center of the story. Bachchan has built a bond with his audience across generations, and the report describes that bond as something he kept showing again on Sunday. Yet the same moment exposed how far the threat environment has pushed even the most loved figures in Indian cinema away from open, unguarded contact with the public.

What comes next

The available reports do not say how long the glass enclosure will remain in place, or whether police will make any formal statement on the threats. The reports also do not confirm the hit list claim. What they do confirm is a visible change in how Bachchan meets his public. The Sunday ritual continues, but the way he faces his fans now carries the weight of the current security situation.

For fans, the image is hard to shake. A familiar smile, a familiar wave, and a layer of glass in between. Whatever happens next in the investigations or the threat reports, the scene outside Jalsa on Sunday showed that the bond between the superstar and his followers has not weakened. It has simply been placed behind protection.
