Raqesh Bapat, joined mid-day.com to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi 2022 and taught viewers how to make eco-friendly moorti at home. This year the actor is even more excited because the festival coincides with his birthday.

Raqesh said, "Tejasswi and Rithvik are among my best students, they are quick learners. I was pleasantly surprised wen they made the Ganpati. Observation is very important before you dig your fingers into the clay. I learnt it by purely observing the person who used to make it near by house in Pune. It`s a creative process and I don`t like to be disturbed because you get lost in space and time. It`s a different zone so I never disturb any creative person who is making something because he is completely immersed in that process."
