Amitabh Bachchan shares desolation outside Jalsa & Juhu beach, says 'mind is deserted too'

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan took to his blog on Sunday to share the desolation in the street outside his house, the landmark Jalsa bungalow which would be brimming with his fans on Sundays otherwise. The lockdown has prohibited the gatherings that were a ritual for Amitabh Bachchan fans when the star would come out to meet them every week. The Satte Pe Satta actor shared pictures of not just the road outside his house but also the iconic Juhu beach on Sunday evening and said that ".. the mind is deserted too ..".
