The man is 81! He has been doing this for over 40 years without fail. He deserves a break. Fans should understand and not make a big deal out of one missed Sunday. His dedication is already legendary.

As someone who visited Mumbai last year, seeing the crowd outside Jalsa was incredible. It's a unique cultural tradition. Hope the fans who traveled get to see him soon.

Honestly, while I admire his commitment, this highlights a bit of a problematic fan culture. Hundreds gathering every week? There are better ways to show appreciation that don't involve crowding a residential area. Just a thought.

More excited about Kalki 2898 AD! Big B's screen presence is something else. If he needs to skip a Sunday to recharge for that, it's a fair trade. Can't wait for the film!

His message in Hindi at the end of KBC was so heartfelt 💖 "Aap hain toh ye khel hai". That's the connection he has with the public. One Sunday doesn't change that bond.
