'Pavitra Rishta' actor Rithvik Dhanjani, who has been religiously celebrating Ganpati in Mumbai every year, unfortunately cannot do the same this year.
We hear that each year the actor would shuttle between shoots and home to attend the rituals at home for the festival and be in Mumbai as much as possible during the time. However, this year Rithvik is in South Africa for a show due to which he is not able to celebrate the festival with his friends and family.
We messaged Rithvik and he reverted saying, "I will still be celebrating the festival but just in South Africa this year instead of Mumbai. I am keeping an eco-friendly Ganpati for 1.5 days and will do the visarjan in my hotel room. This is the smallest Ganpati I am keeping in my life and its because I am out of India this year. For me Ganesh Chaturthi is a very positive time of the year and I have been following the ritual for years. I will definitely miss the excitement and positivity which takes over Mumbai during these days but nonetheless I am trying to make the best of it here."
