Bollywood superstars Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan have gifted their lavish bungalow, Pratiksha, in the plush Juhu locality of Mumbai to their daughter Shweta Nanda Bachchan, reported Moneycontrol on 24 November, citing property documents accessed by Zapkey.
According to the report, the transfer of ownership was formalized through two distinct gift deeds on 8 November and a stamp duty of ₹50.65 lakh was paid for the transaction.

Earlier, Amitabh Bachchan, while hosting a quiz-based reality show, 'Kaun Banega Crorepati’, had once told a participant that the bungalow’s name was given by his father. He added that there is mention of it in his father’s poem that says ‘swagat sabke liye yahan par nehin kisike liye prateeksha’ (all are welcome here but there is no wait for anyone).
The Juhu's bungalow was his first bungalow where he had lived with his parents – mother Teji and father, poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
