Like every year, TV actors Rithvik Dhanjani and Karan Wahi came together to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi in a unique way. The duo set up a workshop where they made Ganesha idols themselves and also taught others the art of idol-making.

Rithvik and Karan gave fans a glimpse inside their idol-making workshop through a fun video. Adding a nostalgic touch to the celebrations, the duo used the theme song from Ekta Kapoor’s hit show Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi in the video, making the moment even more entertaining for fans.
