The festive spirit of Ganesh Chaturthi has enveloped Bollywood, and amongst those celebrating with fervor is acclaimed singer Shreya Ghoshal, who recently visited the home of celebrated filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali along with her family. The visit highlights the close bond Ghoshal shares with Bhansali, who gave her a significant break in the film industry.
Ghoshal, accompanied by her husband, Shiladitya Mukhopadhyaya, and their son, Devyaan, were seen arriving at Bhansali's residence to partake in the Ganpati celebrations. The singer's presence at the Bhansali household underscores the personal connection she maintains with the director and his family.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali holds a special place in Shreya Ghoshal's career, as he recognized her talent early on and provided her with the opportunity to showcase her vocal prowess in his magnum opus, "Devdas". Ghoshal lent her voice to iconic songs like "Bairi Piya" and "Dola Re Dola" in the film, which not only became massive hits but also earned her a National Award for Best Female Playback Singer. This marked a turning point in her career, establishing her as one of the leading vocalists in Bollywood.
The gesture of visiting Bhansali's home during Ganesh Chaturthi reflects Ghoshal's respect and gratitude towards the filmmaker for his contribution to her success. It also exemplifies the importance of tradition and familial bonds within the Indian film fraternity.
Ganesh Chaturthi is a festival that is special for children. Several Bollywood celebrities, including Kareena Kapoor, Debinna Bonnerjee, Dia Mirza, Devoleena Bhattacharjee and Tusshar Kapoor, were seen celebrating the festival with their children. Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu took their daughter Innaya to visit a Ganesh temple.
The visit serves as a heartwarming reminder of the enduring relationships that are forged in the entertainment industry, where professional collaborations often evolve into cherished friendships and familial bonds. As the Ganesh Chaturthi festivities continue, the camaraderie between Shreya Ghoshal and Sanjay Leela Bhansali stands as a testament to the power of music, mentorship, and shared cultural values.
