Salman Khan Gets A Little Confused During Ganpati Aarti, Sister Arpita Khan Steps In To Help

Arpita Khan Sharma corrected Salman Khan during a family aarti as celebrities gathered at Sohail Khan’s home for the shorter Ganpati visarjan ritual.

  • On Monday, actor Salman Khan joined brother Sohail Khan and sister Arpita Khan Sharma at Sohail's Mumbai residence for Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. The family gathered to bid farewell to Lord Ganesha during the traditional 1.5-day visarjan ritual.
  • Known as 'Deed Diwas,' the 1.5-day visarjan offers a condensed celebration for devotees welcoming Bappa with limited space or personal constraints. This shorter tradition allows families to participate in worship and festivities before bidding adieu to the deity.
  • During the aarti ceremony, Arpita gently corrected Salman after he performed the ritual in the wrong direction. Salman immediately acknowledged the guidance, adjusting his movements to perform the aarti correctly alongside other guests and family members present.
  • Elsewhere, actor Shilpa Shetty celebrated at her home on Tuesday, dancing to dhol beats, while Ananya Panday shared a video of her own visarjan, writing in Marathi, "Come sooner next year." Former MP Navneet Rana also visited Shetty's residence.
  • Numerous Bollywood celebrities, including Karan Johar, Maheep Kapoor, and Genelia Deshmukh, participated in festivities across Mumbai. These appearances underscore widespread engagement of B-Town personalities in the annual Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, marking the auspicious occasion with traditional prayers.
