Now, the actress has spoken about the 13-year-old tradition that became an integral part of her life.
According to a report by ETimes, Nia shared, “Before every new project, I make sure to visit Siddhivinayak. I have been going there for 13 years now, and this year was no exception. Seeking Bappa’s blessings today fills me with gratitude. I’m thrilled to be a part of Suhagan Chudail and eagerly await the audience’s reaction. Ganpati Bappa Morya!”
Nia Sharma has also shared a clip of herself performing rituals at the temple on her Instagram page and offered her fans a glimpse of her tradition.

After this, she is handed a basket containing things for the puja along with a framed picture of Lord Ganpati. The video ends with Nia providing a glimpse of her attire for the day. She is wearing a white kurta set with floral prints in a shade of blue.
The caption of the post read, “Continuing the 13-year-long tradition of seeking blessings at Siddhivinayak Ganpati Bappa Moryaa. The journey begins tonight. Hope to receive immense love.”
