Celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi With Mahesh Babu & Namrata Shirodkar

In Hyderabad, Telugu  superstar Mahesh Babu and his  lovely wife, former  Bollywood  actress Namrata Shirodkar are  busy celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi   with their children son Gautam and daughter Sitara.

Says  Namrata  excitedly, “It is  that  time  of  the year we really  look forward  to. Ganesh Chaurthi was  always  big in our house in Mumbai before I was married. My sister Shilpa  and I  (we are Maharashtrians) we would spend days and weeks preparing for the  Festival. The  smell of new  clothes and sweets still lingers in my senses. That tradition hasn’t changed. Every year without fail  my husband Mahesh and our  children Gautam and Sitara celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi at home.”

Namrata  feels we have a  lot to be thankful for.  “This year Ganapati Bappa  comes to us during the worst  calamity that  civilization has faced. He  brings hope . I feel the worst is  over.”
