Actor and model Poonam Pandey visited Bappa to express her gratitude after fulfilling a dream she had wished for last year — buying her own Mercedes.
The actress said she had sought Lord Ganesha’s blessings for the car and returned to thank him after her wish became a reality.
Speaking to IANS, Poonam said she had specifically asked Bappa for the Mercedes she had dreamed of owning and visited the temple after finally making the purchase.
“I asked for a wish from Bappa last year and I wanted to buy this big Mercedes that you see outside. I just bought it and I came here to thank Bappa for it,” she said.
Poonam also spoke about her deep and longstanding bond with Lord Ganesha, saying she turns to Bappa not just for her wishes but also to share the different emotions and experiences of her life.
“I have had a very long relationship with Bappa. We share our problems with him, we share our joys with him and we share our sorrows too. I am just happy,” she said.
The Nasha actress revealed that Ganpati Bappa is currently welcomed at her mother’s home, while she has also been planning to bring the deity to her own residence.
“Ganpati sits in my mother’s house. I have been planning to have one in my house since last year,” she added.
Recalling the wish she had made last year, Poonam said she had whispered her desire to Bappa and was delighted when it eventually came true.
“I asked for this car from Bappa last year. I said it in his ear and my wish came true,” she said.
