The city was buzzing with festive spirit this Wednesday, August 27th, as Ganesh Chaturthi kicked off with devotees welcoming Bappa. But if you wanted to see where the real sparkle was, you had to be at designer and producer Manish Malhotra’s annual celebration. His home turned into a star-studded hub, proving once again that he knows how to throw a party!
Every year, Manish Malhotra opens his doors for a grand Ganpati Utsav. It’s a tradition that draws in the biggest names in entertainment, all eager to offer their prayers to Lord Ganesha. This year was no different, with a parade of film personalities making their way to his residence, sharing joyful photos on social media for their fans.
A Parade of Stars and Style
First up, we spotted the dynamic father-daughter duo, Chunky Pandey and Ananya Pandey, joining the festivities. It’s always a treat to see them together, and they brought a fresh energy to the traditional gathering.

The glamorous guest list continued with actresses Nushrratt Bharuccha and Aditi Rao Hydari. Nushrratt looked absolutely stunning in her ethnic ensemble, embodying timeless beauty. Aditi, on the other hand, brought a touch of modern chic, looking incredibly stylish in a pink dress.

Adding to the splendor of the occasion was the legendary actress Rekha. She graced the event in a magnificent white saree with a golden border, looking absolutely breathtaking. Her signature sindoor and neatly tied bun completed her iconic look. Alongside her, Urmila Matondkar also made an appearance, adding to the star power. A little birdie (and the photo credit) told us these gorgeous pictures were shared by none other than Manish Malhotra himself.

Speaking of ‘Gustakh Ishq’, it was a happy coincidence that actor Vijay Varma was also present at Manish’s Ganesh Utsav today. It seems everyone wanted to celebrate with the designer-turned-producer, making his festive gathering a true hotspot of both tradition and Tinseltown glamour.
