Its time to seek blessing from our most beloved Bappa as Ganapati festival is going on and this is the time when most of the actors also keep Ganapati at their place. Some of the actors keep it for 11 days, some for five days while some keep it for one and a half day.

Well, adding to the list is actor Sharad Kelkar who was last seen as Dr Ashutosh in Sony TV's Kuch Toh Log Kahenge has kept the Ganapati for five days. He believes that its his father's legacy that he is following.

TellyBuzz spoke to Sharad to know more about the celebration when he welcomes Bappa at his place.

When asked Sharad about his father's legacy which he is following he said, "I have been keeping Lord Ganesha for almost 30 years now and every year has been quite unique and different for me. We have been following the ritual of keeping the idol of Lord Ganesh for years now. From my father I inherited the same and my wife Keerti Gaekwad Kelkar also takes care of it."

Talking about the delicacies which he prepares for Bappa, Sharad said, "My mother prepares all kind of delicacies for the Lord."

On being asked Sharad if he follows any theme or no, he said, "No I don't have any theme but yes I have an Eco friendly Ganapati at my place."

So what are the upcoming projects which Sharad is working on, Sharad says, "I am super excited for my movie Ram Leela which will release soon. However, as of now I can't talk anything about the same."

Hope Sharad continues his legacy forever!
