How Bollywood Icons Observe Ganesh Puja at Home

Ganesh Chaturthi has become a private yet spectacular affair for many film personalities in Mumbai.

Salman Khan regularly attends the puja organized by his sister Arpita Khan Sharma. In the 2025 ceremony, the family gathered for the idol installation, and Salman performed aarti alongside his parents, Salim and Salma Khan. The event concluded with a lively dance featuring Arpita and actress Sonakshi Sinha during the immersion.

Actress Sonali Bendre blends devotion with modern technology. While undergoing treatment in New York, she joined the aarti via FaceTime. The following year she celebrated at her home with an eco‑friendly Ganesha idol, pledging to conduct the immersion on the household premises. A 2025 post showed her in a traditional sari beside the deity.

Sonu Sood’s tradition of welcoming Ganesha in his new home, "Gangotri Nivas," began in 2024. He, his wife Sonali, and sons Ayaan and Ishant performed the aarti, describing the moment as emotionally significant because the deity now resides in the locality where his struggles started. In 2025 he repeated the celebration, emphasizing a five‑day ceremony and a green immersion.

Kartik Aaryan’s 2025 home puja featured his mother Mala Tiwari and even his pet dog, with the actor opting for a biodegradable idol and a home immersion, underscoring his commitment to sustainability.

Jacqueline Fernandez marked her first home Ganesh puja in 2025. Wearing a light‑green sari, she performed aarti, offered flowers, and described the occasion as a new beginning filled with love and blessings.

These narratives illustrate how Bollywood’s finest blend personal faith, family gatherings, and eco‑conscious choices during Ganesh Chaturthi.
