With SAB TV’s popular show Balveer preparing to
celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi, the otherwise natkhat Dev Joshi
(who plays Balveer) surprised the cast of the show when he displayed his
religious side on the set. Having grown up listening to Lord Ganesh's stories
and reciting aartis with his mother in Ahmedabad, Dev always wanted to
experience Maharashtra’s much celebrated festival. And when he found out that a
Ganesh idol was being brought to the sets for a special sequence on the show,
he could not contain his excitement and insisted on performing the first Ganesh
aarti himself.
Dressed in traditional kurta-pajama, the
young and charming superhero left everyone amazed when he began chanting ‘Sukh
karta dukh harta’ while performing the aarti. And as everyone joined hands and
hummed along, a very divine atmosphere developed on the sets. At the end
of the aarti, little Dev was also seen distributing modaks that his mother made
for the Balveer parivar to make her sons's first experience
all the more memorable and joyous! As everyone savoured the taste of the
home-made modaks, there was much praise and adulation in the air of
Balveer's devotion to Lord Ganesha.
Speaking
of his humbling experience, Dev told us, "I love Ganpati Bappa and this
experience is something that I will never forget in my life. More than God,
Ganpati is also my friend and I always talk to him about all the good and bad
things in my life like when I don't complete my homework, I think he always saves
me from the scoldings. I'm really excited to play Bal Ganesh's friend on the
show and when I was reading the script, there was so much that I learned about
him." He coyly added," I also love Ganesh festival because I think
hisprashad is the yummiest."
The
Bal Ganesh track on the show unfolds with Manav's family and Montu's family
getting Ganpati in their respective houses which sparks a competition between
the two resulting in hilariously cute laddoo eating and dance competitions.
Meanwhile a Bal Ganesh comes out of the Ganesh idol and befriends
Balveer. An adventurous journey begins with Balveer being helped and
guided by Bal Ganesh for an exciting two week long sequence.
Tune
in to Balveer to catch all the entertainment
from Monday to Friday at 9 pm only on SAB TV!
