New Delhi:
The ten-day long Ganesh utsav ends today and devotees across Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra have gathered to take part in the immersion processions of the Ganesh idols. On this occasion, actor Riteish Deshmukh shared a short video on social media, which is his tribute to Lord Ganesha. The short clip 'stars' Bappa and also features the 38-year-old actor, who is seen rapping a Marathi song. "Thank God, Bappa is not like us," he says. In the one-and-half minute video, Riteish highlights how we use Ganpati's name to run our show and split him to suit the interests of our groups.
