Newz Daddy Entertainment Updates
Deepika Singh, playing the role of Mangal in Mangal Lakshmi, shared, “I have always looked forward to Ganesh Chaturthi because bringing Bappa home is the most special tradition for my family. Every year, my house turns into a place of celebration, and it feels even more joyful when Arshiya and Ruhan, my onscreen kids on Mangal Lakshmi, come over to be part of it. I make it a point to visit Lalbaugcha Raja and other pandals whenever I can, but the real blessing is celebrating Bappa’s agman at home along with friends and family. I feel so grateful, because the love and support I have received is all thanks to Ganpati Bappa’s blessing.”
It’s wonderful that Deepika Singh finds strength and joy in bringing Ganpati home. Ganesh Chaturthi is a big festival, celebrated with colorful decorations, music, and sweets. Actors often feel closer to home and roots during festivals, and visiting Lalbaugcha Raja is a sign of seeking blessings from the famed idol known all over India. Her onscreen children joining the celebration shows a warm bond that flows from reel to real life.
Esha Suryawanshi, essaying the role of Aarohi in COLORS’ ‘Manpasand Ki Shaadi’ says, “Being a Maharashtrian, Ganpati has always been close to my heart. I remember as a child, I would wake up before dawn during Ganesh Mahotsav, helping my mom prepare sweet dishes. Even today, when I visit the pandals, that same child-like excitement bubbles up inside me. This year feels extra special as Aarohi’s journey in Manpasand Ki Shaadi mirrors my own — just as she turns to Bappa for strength and guidance, I too draw my faith and courage from him. Ganeshotsav has never been just a festival for me; it’s an emotion that binds us all together. May Bappa bless everyone with wisdom, prosperity, and endless joy! Ganpati Bappa Morya!”
Esha’s memory of waking up early for Ganpati and helping in the kitchen is full of nostalgia. In Maharashtra, families wake before sunrise, make modaks and laddoos, and decorate the house. Ganpati binds communities, and using the word “emotion” shows how the festival is heartfelt, not just a ritual.
Sanika Amit, portraying the role of Lakshmi in COLORS’ ‘Lakshmi Ka Safar’, said, “Every Ganesh Chaturthi is preceded by this huge rush of joy and anticipation for Bappa. For me, it was always the first beat of the dhol or the sound of the shankh, calling me to run downstairs for aarti and dance till my legs gave out. As a child, I would lose myself in the frenzy of our society’s celebrations, and that same pulse lives on in me till date. Even on the sets of Lakshmi Ka Safar, while filming the most gut-wrenching scenes, I feel Bappa beside me, steadying me. To me, he embodies strength and hope. And that’s what I wish for everyone this year: the power to dance through their storms and rise stronger with Bappa’s blessings.”
Sanika’s description of dhol and shankh (drum and conch) captures the festival’s music. Ganpati is often seen as a source of steadiness and courage, especially in tough scenes. It’s lovely how she connects that energy to filming hard scenes. Ganpati symbolizes removing obstacles, giving strength to face challenges.
Avika Gor, as seen in COLORS’ ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga – Jodiyon Ka Reality Check’, said, “My favourite part of Ganesh Chaturthi is visiting friends and family for Bappa’s darshan. Over the years, I’ve also been blessed to visit Lalbaugcha Raja, and there’s nothing quite like standing in that sea of devotion, surrounded by people from all walks of life, all united in faith. It’s overwhelming and grounding at the same time. Bappa has always been by my side, especially whenever I’ve stepped into something new. Even now, every time I head out to shoot for Pati Patni Aur Panga with the intention to entertain my fans, I feel his presence guiding me. In recent years, I’ve chosen to celebrate with eco-friendly idols and perform visarjan at home, and it has made the festival even more meaningful. I hope more people go green so that our celebrations remain sustainable and joyful for generations to come.”
Avika’s wish for sustainable Ganesh celebrations is important. Using eco-friendly idols made of clay or paper and doing visarjan at home avoids pollution and respects rivers. That choice shows how modern values meet tradition. Feeling the crowd’s devotion can also inspire confidence Bappa guiding her reflects how faith supports new ventures.
