Actress Shriya Pilgaonkar in a conversation with mid-day.com, shared that her fondest memories of Ganesh Chaturthi are the celebrations at her grandparents home, as a child.

Shriya said, "My fondest memories are all the cousins coming together, we perform aarti and eat together. After that, everyone shares stories and there is singing. When we were younger, we would be forced to perform. It's a good opportunity to meet family and eat yummy food! We would visit all the different Ganpati pandals in one car. It was fun seeing all the idols in the neighbourhood."
