Govinda was more than happy to worshipping Lord Ganesha at his home.

Sanjay Dutt was spotted worshipping Ganpati along with wife Maanyata.

Tiger Shroff welcomed Ganpati along with his dad Jackie Shroff and entire family.

Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh celebrated his first Ganpati with his wife Rukmini since their marriage.

Veteran singer Bappi Lahiri also celebrates the festival with high spirits each year, and this time it was no different. He thanked the Lord and Maharashtra state for all his success and wealth.

Actress Tamannaah said the festival is more about expressing gratitude to the God than asking more from him. She sang an ‘aarti’ to welcome Lord Ganesha. The actress, who has just returned from the India Day Parade in New York, said: “We should respect all faiths and beliefs. I believe God is one and there are just different names. I am very proud and lucky to be an Indian.”

Tusshar Kapoor, son of veteran actor Jeetendra, welcomed Ganpati in a traditional dhoti avatar and performed the rituals with complete devotion. The actor said it has been difficult this year to adjust everything according to the new young member -- his son Lakkshya -- but he is excited about his upcoming film Golmaal Again.

Actor Vivek Oberoi, who welcomed a Ganesha idol at his home on Thursday, spoke about bringing an eco-friendly version. “From the last 11 years, we are bringing eco-friendly Ganesha and I feel it makes lot of difference. When we started that time, people used to say it doesn’t look good, but I feel now people are used to that and people have started liking it. It looks really beautiful and is very beneficial for environment as well.”
