Actor Abhishek Kumar marked Ganeshotsav 2026 away from home but far from alone, celebrating the festival on the set of Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh in Mumbai. The actor said the camaraderie of his show family more than compensated for the distance from his own kin during Ganesh Chaturthi.

What Abhishek Said About the Celebration

'Festivals are always a little different when you are away from your family, because these are the moments when you naturally miss the people you celebrate with every year,' the actor said. Despite the distance, Abhishek credited the warmth of his colleagues for keeping the festive spirit alive.

'I feel very fortunate that during Ganesh Chaturthi, I had my Indian Game Show family around me,' he added. He singled out hosts Bharti Singh and Harssh Limbachiyaa for their generosity of spirit, noting, 'Bharti di and Harssh bhaiya have genuinely made me feel like one of their own, and when you have people like them around you, that feeling of family is never really missing.'

The Set Atmosphere During Bappa's Festival

Abhishek described the mood on set as electric, saying the celebrations were marked by 'infectious energy and pure devotion.' He called celebrating Bappa with the entire Indian Game Show team a deeply joyous experience — one that reinforced the bond he has built with his on-screen family over the course of the show.
