Ganpati Bappa Morya! The 10-day-long celebrations for Ganesh Chaturthi began today. Amidst the pandemic, this year, it’s an individual affair but still, the festival spirit and enthusiasm among the netizens is the same as they flooded social media with posts and wishes. Celebrities also wished their fans and prayed on the occasion.

Ganesh Chaturthi celebrates the birth of Lord Ganesha, and devotees welcome Ganpati into their homes with utmost passion and love.

Amongst the celebrities who conveyed their wishes on Ganesh Chaturthi are Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Vivek Oberoi, Karan Johar.

Amitabh Bachchan took to his Twitter handle and shared throwback pictures of him and Abhishek, seeking Bappa’s blessings. He wrote, “Ganapati Bappa moreya (sic).”
