Salman Khan’s Ganesh Chaturthi aarti at sister Arpita’s home steals the spotlight. A heartfelt family moment with a dash of star power.
Bhai Meets Bappa
Because when Salman Khan does an aarti, even the gods probably pause for a moment and say, “Arre wah, Bhai bhi devotional mode mein hai!”
Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 gave us not just modaks and ladoos but also viral videos of Bollywood’s favorite superstar — Salman Khan. At his sister Arpita Khan Sharma’s Mumbai home, Salman led the Ganpati aarti with family and close friends. And trust social media to turn the moment into a blockbuster faster than a Salman Khan Eid release.
But let’s unpack why this simple family ritual became the nation’s favorite clip of the week.
Family First: The Khan Parivaar Tradition
Bollywood royalty loves its traditions, and Salman Khan is no exception. Every year, the Khan family celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi with grandeur and devotion. From bringing the idol home to performing visarjan with dhol and dance, it’s always a spectacle.
This year, the celebration at Arpita’s home saw parents Salim and Salma Khan, siblings, and friends like Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza joining in. With such a lineup, the gathering felt less like a puja and more like a star-studded film set — only this time, the director was none other than Lord Ganesha himself.
The Viral Aarti Moment
In the video that lit up social media platforms, Salman Khan can be seen holding the thali with complete focus. No action scene, no slow-motion walk, no punchline — just pure devotion. Fans loved it, calling it a rare and heartfelt glimpse of Bhai beyond the silver screen.
The clip spread across Instagram reels, X (formerly Twitter), and WhatsApp forwards faster than you can say “Ganpati Bappa Morya.” For fans, this was the crossover they didn’t know they needed: Bollywood superstardom meets spiritual simplicity.
Bollywood + Bappa = Always Viral
Celebrity Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are nothing new. From Shah Rukh Khan’s low-key prayers to the Ambanis’ grandeur, the festival always brings together stars and spirituality. But Salman Khan’s moments stand out for their authenticity.
Maybe it’s his aura, maybe it’s the bhakti vibes, or maybe it’s just because fans love seeing “Bhai” in every avatar — action hero, Bigg Boss host, and now, aarti leader.
Even global outlets like BBC Entertainment often highlight how Bollywood stars blend tradition with stardom. Salman just gave us another perfect example.
Why Fans Can’t Get Enough
- Relatable Bhai: Seeing Salman in a simple kurta, performing rituals, makes him relatable to millions who celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi at home.
- Family Goals: His bond with sister Arpita often melts hearts, and this celebration further reinforced it.
- Viral-worthy Simplicity: No glitz, no filters, just Salman and his family in a peaceful moment. Social media thrives on such contrasts.
The Larger Picture: Faith and Stardom
In India, religion and cinema often walk hand in hand. Festivals become red carpets, idols share space with paparazzi, and prayer videos trend alongside film trailers. Salman Khan’s Ganesh aarti is not just about faith — it’s about how stardom adapts to culture and how fans adapt culture into fandom.
And honestly, isn’t it refreshing to see our stars in a space where they’re just regular devotees, singing aarti with their loved ones? It reminds us that beyond the glitz of Bollywood, the roots are still deeply Indian.
A Punchy One-Liner
Ganesh Chaturthi may bring modaks for everyone, but this year it also brought us “Bhai in Bhakti mode” — a sight rarer than a Salman Khan film without a shirtless scene.
