For actor Aadar Jain, Ganpati festival used to always be a moment to celebrate with family, friends, relatives and unknown visitors who came for darshan to his house. But this year, due to the coronavirus, the celebrations will be slightly different. Though Aadar will dearly miss having people and visitors at home, he feels the spirit of the Ganpati festival will still be the same for him and his family.
The young actor says, “We have been celebrating Ganpati at our house for the last 25 years. It’s a very, very special time and occasion at home. It’s a festive period as we are all bhakts of Ganpatiji at home. We keep Ganpati for all 10 days and we really treat him like our dear guest. We decorate the entire house and we make the house very festive and we have a lot of visitors coming over. However, this time it’s going to be different due to the COVID situation we can’t be having any visitors. Of course, we will be doing zoom and facetime calls for people to join in for the aarti, etc.”
Aadar Jain, who is currently busy with his next film Hello Charlie, says, “First time in 25 years we will not be having visitors. It’s going to be a private affair keeping the safety measures in mind. However, it will still be as festive and special because the festival means a lot to us. We obviously will be sad that visitors can’t come over and do the darshan as a lot of people use to come over and pray to our Ganpati as they believed in it. Over the past 25 years, our house has been open to anybody and everybody from all walks of life for darshan. Unfortunately, this year due to the COVID situation, we will have to follow the safety measures and protocols.”
