Aaradhya Bachchan is the Name of Abhishek & Aishwarya Bachchan’s Daughter

“Aaradhya Bachchan” is the name of Amitabh Bachchan’s grand daughter and Abhishek and Aishwarya’s daughter’s. The meaning of “Aaradhya” is “Worth Worshiping“. Until she was christened Aaradhya Bachchan was popularly known as “Beti B” in the press. Aaradhya Bachchan was born on November 16, 2011.

In Hinduism, Aradhya is a Brahman community or caste which has followers mainly from Karnataka. Aradhya’s belong to the Panchacharyas sect which worships Lord Shiva.

There has been a lot of curiosity regarding Aaradhya’s name. Amitabh Bachchan wrote this on his blog in January, 2012, before Aaradhya was named  – “People pester me with questions on the name. We do not have it. They assume different theories and confabulations on the reason for its delay .. and we laugh. Its not some nuclear formula that shall destroy the world in a jiffy that we hold on to. But the media makes it out to be such.”

Amitabh, Abhishek & Aishwarya Bachchan’s Houses

Amitabh Bachchan and family (Aaradhya Bachchan, Jaya, Abhishek, Aishwarya) have three bungalows (Jalsa, Prateeksha, Janak), within walking distance of each other, at Juhu, Mumbai.

• Jalsa (new Bachan house) and Prateeksha (old Bachan bungalow) are used for residential purposes.
• Janak is used as the Bachchan office. Janak is adjoining Jalsa. It also has a gym which the Bachchan’s use regularly.

The entire Bachchan family (Aaradhya, Amitabh, Abhishek, Aiswarya, Jaya and granddaughter) lives at Jalsa. Amitabh also has a canine family member, his Piranha Dane dog called “Shanouk“. Previously the Bachchan family lived at Pratiksha, but the entire family now lives at Jalsa. The Metro railway line will pass near Prateeksha and this may be one reason for shifting to Jalsa. Amitabh Bachchan visits Prateeksha regularly to pray at the family temple which was hand built by his father, Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Amitabh has preserved both his father’s (Harivansh Rai Bachchan) and mother’s (Teji Bachchan) rooms just the way it was when they were alive.

 

Photos of Amitabh Bachchan House – Jalsa

Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow, “Jalsa“, is a large 10,125 sq ft, two storied house in Juhu, Mumbai. Jalsa is registered in the name of Jaya Bachchan.

Jalsa was given to Amitabh Bachchan by director Ramesh Sippy as payment for starring in “Satte Pe Satta” (1982). It is reported that due to tax reasons, ownership of Jalsa was in the name of Amitabh’s brother Ajitabh’s wife, Ramola Bachchan. So although the Bachchan’s lived at Jalsa it was in Ramola’s name. In 1993, Ramola Bachchan gifted Jalsa to Jaya Bachchan via a Gift Deed. The Bachchan’s delayed registering Jalsa in their name until January 2006. In 2006, Jalsa was finally registered in the name of Jaya Bachchan.

So now you know why Amitabh buys Jaya Tanishq jewelry; if he does not keep her happy, she can ask him to leave her house.

Jalsa has an imposing spiral staircase with pictures of the Bachchans on the wall.
