His own offerings included a full statue of Lord Ganesha, and some prasadam which he offered at the mandapa while a priest was chanting Sanskrit mantras.

After that, while amidst normal people Shreyas was seen smiling and going to the stalls featuring several Ganapati idols, offering his prayers.

Though usually he talks to the paparazzi the actor remained somewhat silent and instead was simply spending time with his family, with his wife who herself was wearing a tilak, carrying their little daughter.

Smiling throughout the video he posted on his Instagram stories, the actor also wrote, with a picture Lord Ganesha: “Ganapati Bappa Morya”

Before this, the actor was also seen in the track ‘Om Namah Shivay’ from his new film ‘Luv You Shankar’ which was sung by Vardaan Singh, with the actor celebrating his love and devotion to Mahadev.
