PIX: Bollywood welcomes Ganpati home

Film folk are celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi by welcoming Lord Ganesha home.

 

Sonali Bendre hopes for new beginnings, as she writes, 'This year more than ever, with the arrival of Bappa, I hope for new beginnings for everyone!'

'I'm going to miss all the visits from friends & family at home for Bappa's Darshan. But I know we'll find a way to adapt to the current situation yet still retain the true essence of Ganesh Chaturthi.'

 

Ananya Panday wishes peace, love, good health, positivity and kindness to everyone.

Manushi Chillar narrates: 'My parents always wanted me to experience different cultures and celebrate them.'

'I'm from Haryana, but Mumbai is my home too. This is the first year that I'm keeping Ganpati at home and I couldn't be happier!!'

'Celebrating festivals like this is very important because it brings people and cultures closer, but if we can celebrate it in the most eco-friendly way, we will also contribute towards nature conservation.'

'My idol has seeds embedded in it so I'm going to do the Visarjan at home in a clay tree pot. I'm looking forward to nurture the seeds well so that life sprouts from it.'
