Shilpa Shetty, known for her lavish Ganpati celebrations, has announced that she will not be hosting the festivities this year. The decision comes as her family observes a 13-day mourning period following a bereavement. Shetty shared the news on Instagram, expressing her regret at missing the annual tradition.

Shilpa penned the note regarding Ganesh Chaturthi

Shilpa penned a heartfelt note,"Dear friends, with deep grief, we regret to inform you that, due to a bereavement in the family, this year we will not be holding our Ganpati celebrations. As per tradition, we will be observing a mourning period of 13 days and will therefore refrain from any religious festivities. We seek your understanding and prayers. With gratitude, The Kundra Family (sic)."

Shetty`s Ganpati celebrations have traditionally been a highlight, attracting attention for their grandeur and devotion. Last year, she published a video on social media with her family, captioned "Ganpati Bappa Morya." We open our hearts and doors to welcome Bappa. "My favourite time of year."
