This pooja was started by Sabrani Mukherjee's grandparents, Sasadhar and Sati Rani Mukerjee.

Sasadhar, who is also grandfather to Kajol, has produced such films like Dil Deke Dekho, Love In Shimla and Leader.

Sati Rani is the only sister of the Ganguly brothers, Ashok, Kishore and Anup Kumar.

 

Meanwhile, director Anurag Basu was spotted at the Maitree Cultural Association, celebrating the third year of Sarbojonin Durgotsav at Malad, another suburb of Mumbai.

Anurag poses with the children of the Astitva school, who performed at the pandal.

The ceremonial lamp was lit by the Trustee of Astitva Trust Radhika Gupte along with television director-producer JD Majethia and actor Romit Raaz.
