Mumbaikars are soaked in the festive fervour of Ganesh Chaturthi, with several Lord Ganesha idols being taken for visarjan on Friday. Many devotees who chose to keep their idols for five days immersed them on Friday, while those keeping the idols for seven days will bid farewell to Lord Ganesha on Sunday, followed by devotees observing the 11-day tradition.
Several videos and photos of celebrities heading for Ganesha visarjan have gone viral on social media.
Amid the celebrations, a clip of TV actor Vishal Singh getting emotional during the visarjan, accompanied by Union Minister Chirag Paswan, surfaced on social media. The two, who share a close bond, were seen together during the Ganpati visarjan in Mumbai.
In the videos, Vishal and Chirag were seen twinning in pink outfits as they bid an emotional farewell to Lord Ganesha. The clip shows the two getting teary-eyed and crying inconsolably during the visarjan.
Apart from their emotional moment, Vishal was also seen enjoying the celebrations and dancing enthusiastically to the beats of the dhol during the visarjan.
Before entering politics, Chirag Paswan was an actor and starred in the Hindi film Miley Naa Miley Humalongside Kangana Ranaut in the lead.
Earlier, Paswan described his Bollywood stint as a “disaster”. Speaking to ANI, he said, “It was a different time. I can’t say if it was difficult or easy. No one from my family has ever been to Bollywood. In a filmy way, I can say, ‘Meri saat pushto ka film se koi naata nahi raha.'”
Vishal Singh has been part of several popular television shows over the years, including Kuchh Is Tara, Kasamh Se and Kumkum Bhagya. He is also known for playing Jigar Chirag Modi in the hit television show Saath Nibhaana Saathiya.
