August 30, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): With the festive occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi well on its way, preparations are on in full swing in the city. Even our B - Town stars are gearing up to welcome the loving Ganpati Bappa home.

The charming Shilpa Shetty is also a Ganpati Bhakt and earnestly looks forward to this time of the year when she gets together with her family to celebrate this mega festival.

That the Lal Baugcha Raja is one of the most popularly visited mandals in the city and attracts people from all quarters is not unheard of. However, not many know that Shilpa herself will be bringing a petite version of the Lal Baugcha Raja home this year. The Ganpati idol that she would be getting home would be an exact miniature version of the famous Lal Baugcha Raja. Shilpa has already started looking into every minute detail and is all set to celebrate this festival with enthusiastic fervor.

We fervently hope Bappa's blessings bring eternal joy and success to this pretty lady! And if you hear loud and zealous chants of Ganpati Bappa Moraya, you'll know where it's coming from!
