Nostalgia: Amitabh Shares The Pic Of His Fallen 'Gulmohar Tree' And Reminisces Memories With It

Bollywood's legendary actor always stays active on social media. Be it his blog, Twitter or Instagram, he keeps on sharing his pics and makes his fans keep an eye on his official pages.

Well, today our dear Big B has gone nostalgic and shared the story behind the 'Gulmohar Tree' which was recently uprooted due to the heavy rains. This tree witnessed many celebrations and became a part of Amitabh's family and brought a shine to his house 'Prateeksha'.

Amitabh took to his blog and shared all the memories related to the 'Gulmohar Tree' and also opened up how his house was named taking a word from his late father 'Harvansh Rai Bachchan'…

"The day in 1976 we moved into the first house that this generation had ever bought and built, and called its own... it was planted as a sapling, a mere few inches in its height... in the middle of the lawn that surrounded the property. A Palace in the desert land of the North had given him the inspiration to plant it where he wanted it to be."

Amitabh also shared the story behind the naming of his house 'Prateeksha', "Babuji saw the house as we invited him and Maa ji to now live with us and named it .. Prateeksha .. it came from a line of one of his works. "Swagat sabke liye yaha par, nahi kisi ke liye prateeksha" .. welcome there is for all in this abode, but we are not waiting for anyone."

Big B also doled out that, his son Abhishek Bachchan's wedding took place near that tree and their family also celebrated every year's 'Holi Ka Dahan' and other festivities in the shadow of 'Gulmohar'.

"The children grew up around it .. as did the grandchildren .. their birthdays and the festivities of festivals all decorated this GulMohar beautiful tree , with its bright orange flowers that bloomed during the summer .. the children did get married just a few feet away from it .. and it stood guardian above them .. its branches bowed down with the weight of grief and sorrow when the elders passed away .. Babuji, Maa ji .. their prayer meet on the 13th and the 12th day after the passing all within its shadow of grief .. the holika .. the burning of the evil forces a day before the celebrations of Holi , burnt about it .. as did all the lights of Deepavali adorn its branches .. the pooja's of Satyanarayan and the havans for peace and prosperity , within its watchful grace."

Coming to Big B's work front, he was recently seen in Shoojit Sircar's 'Gulabo Sitabo' movie in which he essayed the role of a landlord. This movie was released on Amazon Prime last month and also had Ayushmann Khuranna in a pivotal role.
