Actress Madhurima Tulli, known for her work in films and television, welcomed Lord Ganesha home this year with immense devotion and joy. In an exclusive conversation with The Free Press Journal, she opened up about her family’s Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, the thought behind the decorations, and how the festival has become a cherished tradition in their household.
Madhurima revealed that her family has had a long-standing bond with Ganpati Bappa. “We had Ganpati at home for seven years earlier, but then we took a three-year-long break in between. We started again last year, so this is our second time after the break. Last year we brought home Bal Ganesha, and this year we chose a bigger Ganpati Bappa. The minute we saw his eyes, we felt connected and decided to bring him home,” she shared.

This year’s decoration too carried a special significance, inspired by her mother’s creativity. “My mom is the leader, the one who takes charge. This time, the peacock idea was hers. She loved the entire setup. Last year we had an interior decorator who used real flowers, but this time, while mom and dad were out, they came across this peacock-themed décor made from a tree. Mom also had this thought of not cutting trees, so the idea really connected with us. She sent us the picture in our family group, and together, my brother, dad, mom, and I decided on it. We all worked on the decoration, but honestly, this time it’s all her – we were just her support system.”
