Palak told Timesofindia.com, “This year, Ganeshotsav is going to be doubly special for me and I’m very excited. For so many years I have only watched people of Gokuldham society especially Tapu sena celebrating the festival but with Bappa’s blessings I will now have the privilege of celebrating with them on the show. I pray to him that he keeps showering his blessings on us forever. I usually attend Ganpati celebrations at a few of my friends’ place and I will do the same this year as well. I have watched how Gokuldham society has always stressed on hosting eco-friendly Ganpati idols only and so I too always promote the same idea amongst my neighbours and friends. One more special reason that I like this festival so much is that I get to eat a variety of sweet treats in the form of Prasad.”
