Salman Khan’s rakhi sister Shweta Rohira, who is a part of the Ganpati celebrations at the superstar’s house, also visited Arpita Khan Sharma’s place this year as she also brought home an idol. “This is the first time the Ganesh festival is being celebrated at Arpita’s place and there is great excitement among all of us, more so because Arpita is great believer and goes out of her way to make the celebration special. It’s a grand celebration and even more extraordinary this year,” Shweta reveals. According to Shweta, the Ganpati celebrations at Salman’s home have always been very special, “There is a very different energy and vibe to the celebrations at his place. Everyone is so tuned into the aartis and all the rituals,” she says.
Shweta, who is also a painter is busy painting Ganesha walls for several B-Town celebrities since the past two weeks. She has also made special Ganesha candles as gifts for the season, “I am trying to cope up with the demand for hand-painted Ganesha walls, floral Ganeshas and eco-friendly Ganeshas, besides my modak-candles. The candles look real and they can be lit, but they are not edible. I have also come out with Ganeshas decorated with real stones,” says Shweta who designed an eco-friendly Ganpati for her house.
She recalls the time two years ago, when she presented a pair of exquisitely made Ganesha candles to Salman, “That was the first time I made those candles and started my own hand-painted creations. Whenever I start something, Salman-bhai is the first one to know about it, so I gifted him Ganesha candles. Bhai is very lucky for me. His good wishes have always worked for me,” she says.
