Just like every other year, singer Rahul Vaidya is bringing Lord Ganpati to his home on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi for five days. The singer shares, “As always, I am very excited to welcome Ganpati ji home. Sweets are made and the decorations are done, and it’s a very joyous environment around.”

Bappa is known for fulfilling wishes. Vaidya, however, is averse to the idea of wishing for anything. The 34-year-old shares, “When I was younger, I would ask Ganesh ji for a lot of things, but now, I’ve stopped wishing for things. I only ask for the good health and well-being of my friends and family, and that’s all what matters to me.”

The Yaad Teri singer also reveals how his singing career started because of Ganeshotsav. “I think I started singing because of Ganesh ji. My mum made me sing at a Ganpati pandal, and that’s where my musical journey started. So, I owe my singing to Ganesh ji,” Vaidya confesses.

While walking down the memory lane, he adds, “When I was young, there used to be these competitions, where everybody would sing one bhajan. That’s how my mum taught me all the bhajans, and I sang one of them, and that’s where it all started.”

Ask if he wishes for a baby this year from Bappa and Vaidya replies, “Honestly, there is no plan for a mini Rahul or mini Disha (Parmar; actor-wife) as of now. Both of us are very busy, and I still think there is some time for it. All I ask for is good health and luck for myself, and my friends and family.”
