'This year, Bappa's aarti brings a sense of fulfilment'
India, Sept. 16 -- F
or actor-comedian Bharti Siingh and screenwriter-producer Harssh Limbachiyaa, Ganpati Bappa's arrival is always special. But this year is extra special as it marks the first Ganesh Chaturthi celebration for their second son, Yashveer Siingh Limbachiyaa, whom they lovingly call Kaju.
To make it memorable for their little one, Harssh suggested getting a Bal Ganesha idol for Yashveer. Bharti shares, "This has added a spark to the celebrations and it makes our small pandal more vibrant. When Bappa is with us, time kaise nikal jaata hai, pata hi nahin chalta. We wait to bring Him home all year."
The 42-year-old adds that her elder son, 4-year-old Gola aka Laksh Siingh Limbachiyaa, is now "beautifully fulfilling his duties" as a big brother. "From helping decorate the house to guiding Kaju around, it's such an amazing sight to see him involved this way. The fun part is that he himself is always around the modaks!"
Food is another highlight of the festivities, and this year, Bharti has taken charge of the menu. "Mere dono gharon mein - maayka and sasural - Bappa aate hain, aur iss saal maine hi menu set kiya hai. We'll have 4-5 vegetables and poori toh jaan hai. Modak, which is the soul of this festival, is the front-runner for my favourite, as well as Gola's. Now, it is Kaju's favourite too! Mera toh khane se purana yarana hai hi," she laughs.
While the celebrations are filled with food, family and fun, Bharti's biggest wish from Bappa this year is for the health and well-being of children. She says, "This year's aarti brings that feeling of fulfilment and a request to Bappa that humlog hamesha ache se saath mein hi aarti karein, and for the kids to be healthy. In fact, I always wish ke saari duniya mein bacche swasth aur kushal rahein. I have been praying for this since I was a kid because children everywhere deserve a lot of love and the best care."
And what does she wish for herself? "I wish to continue working and for Him to bless my ongoing show, Indian Game Show. I love to go to work every day, but when Bappa is in the house, I have to take a break and just cherish my time with Him. That's what keeps me going all year round," she ends....
