B-Town stars celebrate Ganesh Visarjan with eco-friendly idols.
The Covid-19 pandemic may have thrown a wrench into the Ganpati celebrations across India, but B-Town stars are celebrating the festival with full fervour and excitement. B-Town stars, the likes of Salman Khan, Shilpa Shetty and Hrithik Roshan went for eco-friendly Ganpati Visarjan this year and took to social media to share their pictures.
Salman Khan got together with his family for Ganpati Visarjan in Mumbai on Sunday and immersed the Ganpati idol in a small tub. The Ganpati Visarjan was also joined by Salma Khan, Helen, Sohail Khan, Alvira Agnihotri, Arpita Khan Sharma, Aayush Sharma, Ahil Sharma and Ayat Sharma.

Shilpa Shetty Kundra, too, immersed the eco-friendly idol at home in a bath tub. Hrithik Roshan and his family also kept the idol of Lord Ganesha at their home for one and a half days and immersed it during Ganpati Visarjan.
Hrithik with parents Rakesh Roshan and Pinkie Roshan, sister Sunaina Roshan, ex-wife Sussanne Khan and their sons Hrehaan Roshan and Hridaan Roshan, posed together with Ganesha idol before immersing it in a tub of water filled with flowers.
Shah Rukh Khan, on the other hand, was trolled massively for celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi. Khan shared a black-and-white picture of himself with a teeka on his forehead highlighted in red and he wrote, "Prayers and visarjan done... This Ganesh Chaturthi, may Lord Ganesha bestow upon you and your loved ones, blessings and happiness... Ganpati Bappa Morya."
The comments thread of Shah Rukh's post had many unwarranted hateful messages questioning his faith while some commenters countered the trolls saying, "He celebrates all festivals, he is a true Indian."
