As Amitabh Bachchan purportedly donated his Rs. 50 crore mansion to daughter Shweta Bachchan, one of his old interviews went viral in which he discussed his children’s equal property rights.
Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most successful actors of his generation. He has not only acquired the moniker of Bollywood’s Shahenshah, but his active engagement in different events around him has also etched a particular place in millions of hearts. He has dominated the news since allegations of him gifting his daughter, Shweta Bachchan, his Rs. 50 crores house, Prateeksha, appeared on the internet. Now, videos of him discussing gender equality and his children’s equal rights on his land are going popular on social media, and they are simply irresistible.
When Amitabh Bachchan stated that he does not believe in discrimination
Amitabh Bachchan is one such actor who never misses an opportunity to inspire others with his actions. As a result, his decision to distribute property equally among both of his children is likewise noteworthy. In an interview with IWM Buzz.com, Amitabh said unequivocally that he does not believe in discrimination. As an example of how his children have equal privileges on his property, he stated, “I don’t believe in discrimination between the son and daughter. To me Abhishek and Shweta have equal rights on my property.”
When Amitabh mentioned giving his assets equally to his son and daughter
Amitabh Bachchan had already expressed his views on gender equality on March 2, 2017. He took to Twitter to upload a photo of himself holding a placard that read, “When I die, the assets that I shall leave behind shall be shared equally between my daughter and my son!” #WeAreEqual #genderequality.” He also captioned the photo as follows, “T 2449 – #WeAreEqual .. and #genderquality … the picture says it all!”
According to reports, Amitabh Bachchan gave his first Juhu bungalow to his daughter, Shweta Bachchan
Amitabh Bachchan has various homes in Mumbai, including Jalsa, Prateeksha, and Janak. According to several sources, he gave his lovely daughter, Shweta Bachchan, his first home, Prateeksha, valued Rs. 50.63 crores, where he lived with his parents. Furthermore, according to an Economic Times story, Amitabh and his wife, Jaya Bachchan, transferred title of their mansion, which spans 16,840 square feet, on November 8, 2023. On November 9, 2023, it was registered in Shweta’s name. The Bachchan family paid a total stamp duty of Rs. 50.65 lakhs for this.
According to IWM Buzz.com, a family member of the Bachchans revealed that the decision to transfer Prateeksha into Shweta’s name was made much earlier. However, since Amitabh’s mother died in 2007, the bungalow has been kept sealed. Navya and Agastya, Shweta’s children, are now co-owners of the home with her. The source is quoted as saying, “It makes sense. Prateeksha has remained unoccupied since the past two decades. Bachchan Saab has kept it locked after his mother’s death in 2007. Prior to that he divided his time between Jalsa (the Bachchans’ current residence) and Prateeksha where his parents lived. The decision to make Shweta and her two children Navya Naveli and Agastya, the owners of Prateeksha was taken long ago. Paperwork was a mere formality.”
