The grand Lalbaugcha Raja idol has once again drawn in huge crowds. Among the countless devotees, a familiar face made a heartfelt appearance: veteran actor Anupam Kher. But here’s the kicker – he didn’t ask for any special VIP treatment. He simply blended in with everyone else to receive Bappa’s blessings.
During Ganesh Utsav, Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja becomes a magnet. It pulls in everyone, from everyday people to big-name celebrities. These star-studded visits often lead to a flurry of videos and photos online. Anupam Kher recently joined the throng, seeking divine blessings. He then generously shared a bunch of pictures and videos of his visit on his social media pages.
A Visit with the People
Anupam Kher posted his moments from Lalbaugcha Raja on Instagram. The pictures show him wearing a bright red stole. What really stands out is his choice to avoid any special access. He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with other devotees.
Praise for Order and Devotion
Anupam Kher shared his feelings about the visit in an Instagram caption. He felt incredibly lucky to see Lalbaugcha Raja. He mentioned that not having special VIP arrangements made the experience even better. He also gave a shout-out to the kind organizers and loving devotees. “Millions of people come here,” he wrote, “but seeing the amazing discipline and setup makes one proud.” He added, “Devotees’ feelings for Ganpati are unbreakable. Ganpati Bappa Morya!”
Other big names in entertainment have also stopped by Lalbaugcha Raja. Before Kher’s visit, stars like Aishwarya Rai, Varun Dhawan, and Jacqueline Fernandez were seen paying their respects. They all bowed down to the revered deity.
