Ganesh Chaturthi is more than just a festival—it’s a celebration that brings together communities in devotion to Ganesha, the God of new beginnings, wisdom, and the remover of obstacles. But as we embrace the festivities, it’s also crucial to recognize the environmental impact of our celebrations. This year, Sony SAB beloved stars are stepping up to promote a more sustainable Ganesh Chaturthi.
Leading by Example
Actors like Sujay Reu, Shaleen Malhotra, Indraxi Kanjilal, Anjali Tatrari, Basant Bhatt, and Aakash Ahuja are using their platforms to advocate for eco-friendly practices. They believe that devotion and sustainability can go hand in hand, ensuring that our festivities don’t harm the environment but instead honor it.
Sujay Reu Message of Sustainability
Sujay Reu, who plays Lord Vishnu in *Shrimad Ramayan*, has always felt a deep connection to Ganesh Chaturthi. Although he’s away from Mumbai this year due to shooting commitments, his belief in using eco-friendly Ganesh idols remains strong. He emphasizes that these idols not only preserve our traditions but also reduce pollution, making them a win-win for everyone.
Shaleen Malhotra Personal Connection
For *Vanshaj* actor Shaleen Malhotra, Ganesh Chaturthi has become a source of positivity in his life. After a fire incident at his home, he started the tradition of bringing Ganpati into his house. Over the years, Shaleen has opted for eco-friendly idols made from seeds, clay, and paper pulp. His choice reflects a commitment to preserving the environment while keeping the spirit of the festival alive.
Indraxi Kanjilal’s Call for Clean Water Bodies
Indraxi Kanjilal, who portrays Prathana in Pushpa Impossible, stresses the importance of choosing sustainable idols to protect our water bodies. She supports the use of eco-friendly materials that dissolve completely, leaving no harmful residue behind. For Indraxi, a cleaner environment is just as important as a vibrant celebration.
Anjali Tatrari Thoughtful Celebration
Vanshaj star Anjali Tatrari is all about balancing devotion with care for Mother Nature. Her choice of eco-friendly Ganpati idols reflects her desire to keep the environment clean and healthy. Anjali’s celebration is about honoring both Ganapati Ji and the planet, and she encourages everyone to join her in making a positive impact.
Basant Bhatt Cherished Traditions
While Basant Bhatt, who plays Lakshman in *Shrimad Ramayan*, doesn’t bring Ganpati idols home, he still celebrates the festival in a meaningful way. For him, it’s about maintaining the traditions of his childhood, focusing on prayer and preparation. His approach reminds us that there are many ways to celebrate, all of which can be done sustainably.
Aakash Ahuja Connection to Sustainability
For Aakash Ahuja of Badall Pe Paon Hai bringing home an eco-friendly Ganpati idol has deepened his connection to the concept of sustainability. He shares how the idol turned into mitti after the visarjan, allowing him to use it for planting something new. This small act of sustainability has made a big difference in his celebrations.

Whether it’s using clay idols, avoiding harmful materials, or finding ways to reduce waste, every small effort counts.
