How a Decade‑Long Hiatus Ended: Mansi Joshi Roy Returns to Ganesh Chaturthi

Actress Mansi Joshi Roy, known for her role in the serial “Lakshmi Nivas,” discussed the end of a ten‑year pause from celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi. The star recounted how, after years of elaborate festivities that grew into large social gatherings, she and her family chose to stop the public event in 2015.

The decision came after she realized that the busy routine of filming, travel, and constant guest visits left little space for genuine worship. Her sister‑in‑law, a devout family member, echoed the sentiment, noting that the celebration had lost its spiritual core.

In 2023, Rohit Roy expressed a desire to bring Ganesh home again, but in a modest way. The couple reinstated the tradition with a simple home setup, allowing them to reconnect with the deity without the pressure of a massive social function. Mansi emphasized that this renewed approach focuses on personal devotion rather than public spectacle.
