Shilpa Shetty Ganpati Visarjan 2026: Shilpa Shetty bid an energetic farewell to Ganpati Bappa with husband Raj Kundra, children and family by her side. The actress danced enthusiastically to the beats of the dhol during the visarjan celebrations, making the farewell as lively as the welcome.
Dressed in a traditional yellow outfit, Shilpa looked radiant as she joined her family for the auspicious occasion. Videos from the celebration show the actress dancing with complete enthusiasm as the family came together to see Bappa off.
Bappa Returned Home After a One-Year Break
This year’s Ganpati celebration was particularly emotional for Shilpa because the family had skipped the festivities at home in 2025 following a bereavement.
The decision marked a break from a tradition that Shilpa had followed for nearly 22 years. With Bappa returning to the Shetty-Kundra home this year, the celebrations carried an added sense of happiness and emotion.
For Shilpa, Ganpati celebrations have always been about faith, family and keeping traditions alive.
Raj Kundra and the Kids Join the Celebrations
Raj Kundra was by Shilpa’s side during the visarjan. Their children, Viaan and Samisha, also joined the family celebrations.
From performing the rituals to participating in the visarjan, the family came together to bid farewell to Bappa with devotion and enthusiasm.
The family’s traditional festive looks and cheerful mood added to the warmth of the occasion.
Shilpa’s Energetic Dance Steals the Show
The biggest highlight of the visarjan celebrations was undoubtedly Shilpa’s dance.
As the dhols played, the actress let herself loose and danced with infectious energy. Her enthusiasm perfectly captured the spirit of Ganpati celebrations, where the farewell is emotional but also filled with hope and joy for Bappa’s return the following year.
Shilpa’s love for Ganpati is well known, and she has often made the festival an important part of her family celebrations.
Eco-Friendly Ganpati Has Been Her Choice
Shilpa Shetty has also been associated with eco-friendly Ganpati celebrations for several years.
The actress has consistently spoken about celebrating festivals while being mindful of the environment. Her approach combines devotion with an emphasis on responsible celebrations.
For her, welcoming Bappa is about celebrating faith without forgetting the responsibility towards nature.
She Once Celebrated Ganpati Despite an Injury
Shilpa’s commitment to her Ganpati tradition has been visible even during difficult circumstances.
In 2022, despite suffering a leg injury, the actress participated in the Ganpati visarjan in a wheelchair. She continued to celebrate with the same enthusiasm, showing just how deeply the festival is connected to her personal faith.
A Celebration That Brought Back an Old Tradition
The 2026 Ganpati festival was therefore more than just another celebration for Shilpa Shetty.
After a one-year pause, Bappa returned to her home, bringing back a tradition that has been part of her life for more than two decades.
With Raj Kundra and their children beside her, Shilpa welcomed the festival with devotion and said goodbye with dance, music and celebration.
For Shilpa Shetty, Ganpati may leave after the visarjan—but the faith, memories and promise of Bappa’s return remain.
Ganpati Bappa Morya! 🙏
