New Delhi: Have you heard the name of Babu Patti? Probably not? If we tell you that this is a small village in Pratapgarh district of Uttar Pradesh, then perhaps you will get some clarity. Now if we say that this is the ancestral village of the superstar of the century, then perhaps you will understand our hint. Yes, this village is the ancestral village of Amitabh Bachchan because his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan was born here.
However, Big B does not have any special connection with this place. He has often expressed his desire to come here on camera. However, his wife Jaya Bachchan has definitely come here. Jaya had also promised the people there that she will bring Big B to the village once, but it has not happened yet. Jaya Bachchan had come here in the year 2006 with the then MP of UP Amar Singh to inaugurate the library built in the name of her father-in-law and then she had also taken the blessings of the elders of her village.
Amitabh will celebrate his 82nd birthday on October 11. On this special occasion, know about Big B's ancestral village...
What is the name of Amitabh Bachchan's ancestral village?
Bachchan's father and famous litterateur Harivansh Rai Bachchan's parents, Pratap Narayan Srivastava and Saraswati Devi Srivastava, lived in their ancestral home in Babu Patti.
Big B was born on 11 October 1942
Why did Amitabh never go to his father's village
Worked in the coal department
After this, the locals of the village thanked Amar Singh for bringing Jaya Bachchan to Babu Patti and also wrote a thank you message for him on the wall. The library has a larger than life painting of Jaya Bachchan and Amar Singh, with the famous 'Agneepath' poem painted on the wall.
There is also a library near the house
Next to the library is a neem tree which is often mentioned in the literary works of late Harivansh Rai Bachchan. There is a small temple on the tree, built by one of his family members.
This village is still far behind in terms of development. Even today huts and kutcha houses can be seen here. The people of the village are still waiting for the megastar to come to meet them one day. Now only time will tell when this will happen.
