Actor Sonu Sood is among those celebs who bring Lord Ganesha to his home every year. He has been celebrating the auspicious festival with his family for over two decades now. Sonu who is an ardent follower of Lord Ganesha keeps Bappa at his home for five days. In a recent interview with an entertainment portal, the actor recalled how it all started and how he and his wife, Sonali celebrate the festival with great zeal.
Sonu went down the memory lane, reflected, and said, “I remember Sonali had just arrived from Punjab. We were staying at a rented apartment in Mumbai back then. We wished to get Bappa home as we wanted to immerse ourselves in the city’s festive spirit. So, I went on a motorbike to Vile Parle railway station and got home a small murti. It was around eight inches tall, and Sonali then told me that we should get a bigger idol. Since then, we have been getting a four-foot-tall idol. Slowly, over the years, we learned it all. It’s been 22 years.”
The actor further revealed that after bringing Lord Ganesha home, his family decks up the house, puts fresh flowers every morning, performs aarti every day, and cooks traditional food.
“In fact, I have tried making modaks, but failed miserably. Last year, they turned out slightly better, so I will try making them this year, too. We also make prasad at home. During these five days, it feels so good every time you wake up in the morning and see Bappa at home. My sons are also excited, and their friends visit our home, too,” the actor concluded.
Sonu Sood also extended wishes on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi to his fans and followers on his social media accounts.
