Ganesh Chaturthi: When Shilpa Shetty’s daughter Samisha’s goofy face won hearts at Ganpati Puja

As devotees get ready to celebrate the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi, memories of past celebrations resurface, and one moment that continues to delight fans is Shilpa Shetty’s family puja from 2023. The actress shared glimpses of her Ganpati puja, but what immediately caught everyone's attention was the family's colour-coordinated style, which saw them all dress up in elegant cream-hued ensembles.The actress herself looked radiant in a cream saree draped in the Maharashtrian style, which was complete with yellow tassel details that added a festive flair. Yet, it wasn’t just her attire that made the picture memorable. It was her daughter, little Samisha, who stole the spotlight with her goofy expression. Her playful face turned a simple family picture into a moment that fans couldn’t stop gushing over. Sharing the post, Shilpa wrote, “Ganpati Bappa Moriya. Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to you all. Sukhee Bhava.”This year, the Shetty-Kundra household will not be celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi with the usual pomp. In an emotional note shared on Instagram, Shilpa explained that the family is observing a 13-day mourning. “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,” she wrote.Even amidst the quiet observance, Shilpa signed off her note with heartfelt hope for the future: “Ganpati Bappa Morya, pudchyavarshi lavkar ya.”Shilpa was last seen in “Sukhee” by Sonal Joshi in her directorial debut. The humorous slice-of-life tale follows a 38-year-old Punjabi housewife Sukhpreet "Sukhee" Kalra, who, sick of her routine existence, travels to Delhi to attend her high school reunion.
