Bollywood star Sharvari, fresh off the success of her hit film 'Munjya,' is gearing up for the festive season as Ganesh Chaturthi approaches. The actress is already in celebration mode, preparing for the festival that holds a special place in her heart.

In the lead-up to Ganesh Chaturthi, Sharvari has been busy with traditional preparations. She took to her Instagram Stories to share a sneak peek of herself making gujiyas, a sweet pastry often offered to Lord Ganesha during the celebrations. The Boomerang video showcased the actress fully engaged in the festive mood, rolling out dough and preparing the delicacies by hand.

For those unfamiliar, gujiya is a popular Indian dessert made during various festivals, including Ganesh Chaturthi. The sweet is a deep-fried pastry, traditionally filled with a mixture of milk solids (khoya) and dry fruits. The outer layer is made from all-purpose flour or semolina, and the dumplings are fried in ghee to create a crispy texture. It's a must-have sweet during festive occasions, and Sharvari's preparation of the gujiyas adds a special personal touch to her celebrations.

As Mumbai prepares for one of its grandest festivals, the city is abuzz with excitement. Ganesh Chaturthi, falling on September 7 this year, is celebrated with immense devotion and grandeur. The streets are adorned with decorations, and countless Ganpati pandals-temporary structures where idols of Lord Ganesha are worshipped-are set up across the city.

Popular pandals such as Lalbaugcha Raja and Andheri Cha Raja attract thousands of devotees, including Bollywood celebrities, who seek blessings during the holy period. Mumbai's Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are often compared to the Durga Pujo festivities in Kolkata, both being significant cultural and religious events in their respective cities.

The festive celebrations are even more special for Sharvari this year as she recently wrapped up shooting for her upcoming film 'Alpha' in Kashmir and returned home to Mumbai just in time for Ganpati celebrations. In her Instagram Story, she gave fans a glimpse of her cozy home, decorated and ready for the festival.

Sharvari's next big project is 'Alpha,' a film that promises to be a game-changer in the YRF Spy Universe. 'Alpha' is notable for being the first female-led spy film in this cinematic universe and also stars Alia Bhatt. Both actresses are set to portray fierce, super-agent characters, and the film is expected to present them as the "Alpha girls" of the spy world.

Directed by Shiv Rawail of 'The Railway Men' fame, 'Alpha' is produced by Aditya Chopra and is creating a buzz for its strong female cast. With the film's storyline focusing on high-stakes espionage, fans are eagerly awaiting the action-packed performances from Sharvari and Alia.

Sharvari first captured audience attention with her debut in 'Bunty Aur Babli 2', which was a sequel to the 2005 hit 'Bunty Aur Babli'. In the film, she starred alongside big names like Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, and Siddhant Chaturvedi. Her performance was praised, and she quickly became a talent to watch in Bollywood.

Sharvari further solidified her place in the industry with her role as Bela in the horror-comedy 'Munjya', directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. The film emerged as a breakout hit, showcasing her versatility as an actress. Recently, she was also seen in the much-anticipated movie 'Vedaa,' adding another notable project to her growing filmography.

As Sharvari balances her rising career in Bollywood with her personal life, her preparations for Ganesh Chaturthi reflect her deep connection to tradition and family. With the success of 'Munjya' behind her and the upcoming release of 'Alpha' on the horizon, Sharvari is certainly making waves in the film industry. Fans are excited not only for her festive updates but also for her dynamic roles on the big screen.
