Bollywood celebrities marked Ganesh Chaturthi on September 14 with traditional rituals and social media posts. Ananya Panday returned to Mumbai to celebrate with parents Chunky and Bhavna Pandey, posting "Back home just in time for my fave to come home." Kareena Kapoor Khan shared images of husband Saif Ali Khan and son Jeh making clay idols at home. Rajkummar Rao made an eco-friendly Ganpati murti at home, NDTV and Bollywood Hungama reported.

Priyanka Chopra, Kajol, Sunny Deol, Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna extended wishes online, Times Now reported. Rashmika, recovering from an injury, shared a photo with her dog. Bhushan Kumar performed Sthapana Pooja at T-Series office. Sunita Ahuja told Zoom TV she wants her own home by next Ganesh Chaturthi. Mrunal Thakur danced on the street with family as they brought home the idol.
Coverage is uniform straight reporting across all four outlets. No outlet criticises or praises the government, the story is purely cultural and celebrity-focused. The reports differ only in which stars they lead with: NDTV and Times Now highlight A-list names like Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra, while Telangana Today and Bollywood Hungama give more space to Ananya Panday and Rajkummar Rao's eco-friendly gesture. All sources frame the festival as a wholesome family occasion. The festival runs for ten days, the next major event is the idol immersion procession.
None of the coverage discusses political or regulatory dimensions. The celebration continues until September 24, when idols are immersed.
