New Delhi: Ganesh Chaturthi 2025 was marked with grandeur by Salman Khan and his family. The 60-year-old actor, who is known for hosting festive celebrations at his home, was seen performing aarti with his parents, Salma and Salim Khan, along with his siblings and extended family.
The celebration took place at his sister Arpita Khan Sharma’s residence, which has become a regular venue for the Khan family’s Ganesh Chaturthi puja every year.
