The Shetty-Kundra household, known for its enthusiastic and stylish Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, will be observing the festival differently this year. Shilpa Shetty, who is known for bringing Bappa home every year, recently announced that she and her family will not be bringing Ganpati home this Ganesh Chaturthi.

While the actress, her husband Raj Kundra, and their children Viaan and Samisha are devout followers of Lord Ganesha, the decision stems from a place of both regret and responsibility. In a recent statement, Shilpa expressed the family's sadness, stating, "We regret to inform our friends and followers that we will not be bringing Ganpati home this year...". The specific reason for this decision was not disclosed in the statement.

For years, the Shetty-Kundra residence has been a hub of vibrant festivities during Ganesh Chaturthi. Shilpa has often shared glimpses of their celebrations on social media, showcasing elaborate decorations, eco-friendly idols, and the family's joyous participation in the rituals. Her commitment to celebrating the festival with both devotion and a modern touch has been widely admired.

In previous years, Shilpa has been seen sporting a range of festive looks, from traditional Nauvari sarees to modern sharara suits. She often incorporates Maharashtrian-inspired jewellery, such as a delicate nath (nose ring) and ornate bangles, into her ensembles. Her emphasis on eco-friendly celebrations has also inspired many to opt for sustainable practices during the festival.

Despite not bringing Ganpati home this year, Shilpa and her family will undoubtedly continue to hold Lord Ganesha in their hearts. Whether they choose to visit temples, participate in community celebrations, or observe the festival in a more private manner, their faith and devotion will remain unwavering. It remains to be seen how the family will celebrate, but fans are nonetheless understanding of the family's decision to adjust their traditions this year.
