Mumbai, August 2025: With Ganesh Chaturthi just around the corner, the air is filled with the sound of dhol-tasha, the aroma of modaks, and the joy of bringing Bappa home. Sony SAB\u2019s beloved artists, Rishi Saxena, Ashi Singh, Abhishek Verma, and Garima Parihar share their special memories, unique ways of celebrating, and the significance of this auspicious festival in their lives. Bringing the idol home with utmost devotion to enjoying the prasad, each of them has their own heartfelt connection with Ganpati Bappa that adds to the festive spirit.<\/p>\n
Rishi Saxena, playing the role of Sanjay in Itti Si Khushi, shared, \u201cGanesh Chaturthi is one of the most cherished times of the year for me because it beautifully connects my personal and professional life. I may be from Jaipur, but after marrying my wife, who is a Maharashtrian, and working in the Marathi industry for so many years, I have truly experienced the heart and soul of this festival in its most authentic form. We make sure to be part of the celebrations in our own way, and one thing that’s non-negotiable for us is ukadiche modak! What I adore most about Ganesh Chaturthi in Maharashtra is the way the entire community comes alive with joy, devotion, and cultural pride. There\u2019s music, dhol, and dancing on one side, and deep spiritual connection on the other.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Gauri Tonk, playing the role of Nandita in Itti Si Khushi, shared, \u201cI love the entire process of welcoming Bappa, from cleaning and decorating the space to choosing fresh flowers and vibrant fabrics for the mandap. At home, we make a mix of traditional and modern sweets; while modaks are of course the star of the festival, we also prepare a variety of other dishes like puran poli, kheer and chakli, which everyone in the family waits for eagerly. The best part is that the entire house feels alive \u2014 relatives, friends, and even neighbours drop in, and there\u2019s constant laughter, music, and chatter. No matter how busy life gets, Ganpati Bappa\u2019s arrival reminds me to pause, be grateful, and share joy with the people I love the most.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ashi Singh, playing the role of Kairi in Ufff\u2026Yeh Love Hai Mushkil, shared, \u201cWe started with keeping Bappa for just three days, and now it\u2019s grown to five days because the joy is just too hard to let go of. The preparations begin well in advance from finalising the decorations to planning the menu for all five days, it\u2019s a family affair filled with excitement. Every day has its own special dishes and moments, and we make sure there\u2019s something unique for Bappa\u2019s bhog. If I\u2019m not shooting and I\u2019m free, I love being in the kitchen to prepare the bhog myself, it\u2019s my way of adding a personal touch to the celebrations. This year feels even more special because I\u2019m looking forward to having my Ufff\u2026Yeh Love Hai Mushkil family over at home to be part of the festivities. Ganpati Bappa\u2019s arrival just fills the house with joy, laughter, and an energy that\u2019s hard to put into words.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAbhishek Verma, playing the role of Shaurya in Ufff\u2026Yeh Love Hai Mushkil, shared, \u201cGanesh Chaturthi is the time when every corner of the city comes alive. It\u2019s not just about rituals, it\u2019s about laughter, music, and sharing prasad with anyone who visits. There\u2019s something magical about seeing the streets filled with decorations, colours, and smiling faces. I love participating in the visarjan procession, there\u2019s such joy in the chants of \u2018Ganpati Bappa Morya.\u2019 As for food, my weakness is coconut barfi and ladoos, once the prasad thali is served, you\u2019ll definitely find me reaching for seconds!\u201d<\/p>\n

Garima Parihar, playing the role of Dipti Parikh in Pushpa Impossible, shared, \u201cFor me, Ganesh Chaturthi has always been about bringing colour, joy, and warmth into our homes. I love how the festival transforms the atmosphere, there\u2019s music in the air, the fragrance of modaks, and the feeling of being surrounded by loved ones. This year, I\u2019m excited to welcome Bappa home with even more enthusiasm, meaning to ask everything I need, and showing gratitude for everything that he\u2019s given.”<\/p>\n
