Ganpati Bappa is loved by one and all. People all over the world have unflinching faith in God and every family has a story to tell regarding their Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. Celebrities from the film industry and TV industry have also shared their experiences of celebrating the festival in a recent interview.
As reported by NewsdayExpress, Gangs of Wasseypur fame Pankaj Tripathi has been keeping the idol of Bappa in his home religiously for ten to eleven years now. The actor was reported as saying, “We used to live in Charkop then. There were a lot of pandals and public circles where we used to go for darshan. There was a pond under our house, where people used to come for idol immersion and it was a lot of fun. We used to watch it from our balcony. At the time of immersion, they also used to go to the banks of the pond. Soon after, curiosity arose that we too keep Bappa at home and that’s how we started keeping it.”
