Cinema VinesDuring the bustling Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in Mumbai, star Ranveer Singh made a trip to the famed Lalbaugcha Raja pandal to seek the blessings of Lord Ganesha. The actor, who has been enjoying a successful year with films such as Dhurandhar and its sequel, used the occasion to thank the deity for the happiness he and his family have experienced.
In an interview with News18, Singh announced a new social initiative: he will fund the education of 1,000 girls through the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan. He said, “On the auspicious occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi and the birthday of our respected Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, I pledge to support the education of 1,000 daughters by joining the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’. I hope that this pleases Bappa and that His blessings remain with us always.” The announcement, made as he sought darshan, was widely shared on social media and sparked conversation among fans.

While the actor was seen taking photos and interacting with devotees, he also highlighted the significance of the day, noting that it was both a celebration of the deity and a personal milestone, as it also marked Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday.
Beyond his philanthropic pledge, Singh is preparing for his next film, Pralay, a zombie thriller directed by Jai Mehta that will feature Kalyani Priyadarshan in her Bollywood debut. The actor’s dual focus on entertainment and social causes has added a new dimension to his public persona.
As the city buzzes with festivities, Ranveer Singh’s commitment to girls’ education stands out, promising to bring tangible benefits to thousands of young women while keeping the spirit of Ganesh Chaturthi alive in his personal journey.
