The festival holds a special significance not just for the general public but also for many Bollywood stars. Each year, the celebrations at their homes capture public attention. Here’s a look at some of the film industry’s prominent figures and how they celebrate this auspicious occasion with their families and friends.
Salman Khan’s family has long been a focal point during Ganesh Chaturthi. He frequently joins his sister Arpita Khan Sharma for the festivities at her home.
