The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is finally here, and as always, Mumbai is bursting with color, devotion, and celebration. Over the next 11 days, the city will echo with chants of Ganpati Bappa Morya, streets will come alive with music and dance, and homes across the metropolis will open their doors to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles.
Among the many celebrities who mark this sacred festival by welcoming Bappa into their homes each year, actress Hansika Motwani was once again seen joining the celebration with full enthusiasm. Dressed in a white kurta and lemon dupatta set and glowing with joy, Hansika smiled warmly for the cameras as she arrived with her Ganpati idol. She later took to Instagram to share a heartfelt photo of the beautifully adorned deity, captioning it simply, “He is home” — a post that quickly won over her fans.
However, what caught many people’s attention this time wasn’t just the glamour or the idol — but the noticeable absence of her husband, Sohael Khaturiya.
In recent weeks, rumors have been swirling about possible tensions between the couple, with whispers of a split making rounds in entertainment circles. While neither Hansika nor Sohael has addressed the speculation publicly, his absence during such a personal and meaningful family moment — especially a festival known for bringing loved ones together has certainly added fuel to the fire.
Hansika, who married businessman Sohael Khaturiya in a grand wedding in 2022, had previously been quite open about her relationship on social media. The couple even documented their wedding journey in a special OTT series. But lately, their joint appearances have become rare, and fans have noticed the lack of recent posts featuring them together.
Still, if Hansika’s bright smile and festive spirit are anything to go by, she’s not letting the gossip cloud her devotion or celebration. The actress seems determined to focus on the positive energy of the season, and nothing says that louder than welcoming Ganpati Bappa home with joy and reverence.
