No Ganesh Chaturthi celebration at Shilpa Shetty’s home this year, actress shares emotional note
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty will not host her annual Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations this year, as the Kundra family will observe a 13-day mourning period.
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has announced that she will not be celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi this year. Known for her grand and devotional Ganpati festivities, the actress shared the news on Instagram, informing fans that the Kundra family will be observing a mourning period following a bereavement.
In her statement, Shetty wrote, “Dear friends, With deep grief, we regret to inform you, 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.

While sharing the message, the actress also bid farewell to Lord Ganesha with the devotional chant, “Ganpati bappa morya, pudchyavarshi lav kar ya.” Her words reflected both her devotion and her regret at missing a tradition that has been close to her heart for many years.
Shilpa Shetty’s annual Ganesh Chaturthi traditions
For over a decade, Shilpa Shetty has welcomed Lord Ganesha into her home with grandeur, devotion, and family gatherings. Her Ganpati celebrations in Mumbai are often admired for their warmth, colour, and spiritual energy. In 2024, she shared a video of the festivities with her family, captioning it, “Ganpati Bappa Morya. Opening our hearts and doors to welcome Bappa. Favourite time of the year.” The pause in 2025 marks a rare break in the tradition as the family dedicates this time to mourning.
