He recollects his growing-up days in Indore, where he often visited Ganesh temples.

Says Puneett, “When I used to stay in Indore, I used to visit Ganesh temple every week. There is a temple called Khajrana. Ganeshji has always been close to me, I feel good visiting these temples. I always make it a point to visit the Ganpati Pandals. A year back, I went to Lalbagcha Raja. I visit Siddhivinayak very often. I feel I have a special connection with Ganpati Bappa. I want to seek Bappa’s blessings this Ganesh Chaturthi.”

On how he celebrates the festival at home, Puneett explains, “We do not keep Ganpati at home for a certain family reason. However, my sister celebrates it at her house. We celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi at her place usually. Yes, we use eco-friendly Ganpatis as it is important to save Mother Nature. I don’t like it when I see the idols being drowned in seawater.”
