Salman Khan’s Ganpati Aarti Slip Fixed by Sister Arpita

On Tuesday, the Khan clan gathered at brother Sohail’s Bandra‑West house for their annual Ganesh Chaturthi visarjan. The air was thick with the thrum of dhols, laughter and the scent of incense – the usual festive chaos that Bollywood families love.

Salman Khan, ever the life‑of‑the‑party, arrived in printed jeans, a matching jacket and a casual beanie. He stepped out of his car, flashed a quick smile at the waiting photographers and made his way inside, greeting fans and a few curious kids along the way.

When it was his turn to lead the aarti, the actor lifted the thali and began the ritual. Except, for a brief moment, he was moving the lamp in the opposite direction of the traditional clockwise motion. A quick glance from his younger sister Arpita caught the slip.

“Bhai, aarti aise nahi hoti,” she whispered, half‑teasing, half‑serious. Salman, ever the good‑sport, smiled, adjusted the thali and continued the prayer correctly. The sibling banter was captured on video and quickly spread across Instagram, drawing amused comments from fans.

Beyond the aarti hiccup, the gathering was a genuine family affair. Arpita, Alvira, Arhaan, Nirvaan and even the little one Ayat danced to dhol beats, while Iulia Vantur joined the ritual. The immersion – or visarjan – was staged in a large water tank set up in Sohail’s building, with Arhaan helping to lower the idol gently.

Ganesh Chaturthi has long been a staple in the Khan household, a time when the brothers and sisters reunite, share sweets, and take part in the prayers. This year’s ceremony, filmed by dozens of phones, gave fans a glimpse of the warm, slightly chaotic, yet love‑filled atmosphere that defines the family’s celebrations.

In the end, the little aarti error turned into a heart‑warming reminder: even superstars need a nudge from their siblings now and then. And for the Khan family, it was just another story to add to their long list of festive memories.
