Actor Lakshay Khurana who is playing the role of Aditya in the show ‘Ishq Jabariya’ says, “Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most celebrated and cherished festivals for me. There’s a unique magic in the air during these days that makes Mumbai look even more beautiful. The city comes alive with vibrant colors, the sound of dhols and aartis, and the sight of people coming together in devotion. The streets are adorned with lights and decorations, and every corner feels like it’s filled with Bappa’s blessings. It’s a time when the spirit of Mumbai shines the brightest, and being part of such grand celebrations fills my heart with immense joy and gratitude.”

Actress Brinda Dahal who is playing the role of Vaishanavi in the show ‘Chhathi Maiyya Ki Bitiya’ says, “Ganesh Chaturthi is special to me because I was born on Tuesday the 4th, a day for worshiping Ganesh Ji. Since childhood, I’ve felt a deep connection with Ganesh Ji. When I was about seven, something upsetting happened at school. I went to the temple, prayed while crying, and suddenly, a flower fell into my hands. It felt like a scene from a movie. In Nepal, Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated more simply, with regular prayers using the Ganesh statue at home, unlike the elaborate celebrations elsewhere. This year in Mumbai, I’ve received many invitations and am excited to see how the celebrations unfold.I am so excited to enjoy some delicious modak and experience the Ganesh Utsav in Mumbai!”

Actor Sahil Uppal who is playing the role of Gagan in the show ‘Saajha Sindoor’ Says, “Even though I grew up in Delhi, where Ganesh Chaturthi isn’t widely celebrated, I have some really fond memories from Mumbai, where I’ve spent most of my time. Every year, our society would bring in Ganpati Ji, and we were always right there at the mandal, helping with decorations and collecting contributions. We were so wrapped up in the celebrations from morning till night that we’d often forget to eat or sleep. What really sticks with me is the vibrant festive spirit and the endless supply of sweets. It was like the entire community came together to welcome Lord Ganesh as our special guest.Ganesh Chaturthi is more than just a festival; it’s a celebration of unity.”
