Itti Si Hansi, Itti Si Khushi, Itna Sa Tukda Chand Ka, Khwaabon Ke, Tinkon Se, Chal Banaaye Aashiyan… It is rightly said that ‘home is where the heart is’ as nothing beats the feeling of coming back to your little pad after a long hectic day. And when you look around at every corner of your ‘home sweet home’, it reminds you of the efforts you had put in to make this 'house' your 'home' and it reflects your personality. And if we talk about our B-town celebrities’ ‘home sweet home’, then without any second thought we can say that it reflects royalty with which they live their life, king size!

To begin with, let us share an unknown fact about Jalsa that how it became the Bachchan’s residence. An iconic director, Ramesh Sippy had gifted Jalsa to Amitabh Bachchan as a present for acting in his movie, Satte Pe Satta. Big B’s first house that he had bought, Prateeksha, is located just 1 Km away from Jalsa and it holds a special place in his heart. The front porch of Jalsa features a verdant garden with many potted plants, which bring a lush vibe to the entrance of their home.
Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan’s luxurious residence, Jalsa is worth between Rs 100 and 120 crore. Jalsa is adorned with mirrored shelves, floor-to-ceiling windows, glass chandeliers, plush rugs, baroque pieces, spectacular paintings inspired by royal heritage and high traditional arches. Good use of earthy and warm tones with wood glamourises the house. One wall in Jalsa is dedicated to the family pictures of the Bachchan clan from different phases of their lives.
