Amitabh Bachchan shares story of the 43-year-old Gulmohar tree under which Abhishek-Aishwarya tied the knot

Amitabh Bachchan, in his latest blog, wrote about a 43-year-old Gulmohar tree in his bungalow Prateeksha which was recently uprooted due to the monsoon rains. Sharing some unknown facts about the tree, he wrote, “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.”

Recalling the old days, Big B wrote, “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.”

He also wrote, “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.”
