After Lalbaugcha Raja Visit, Ridhi Dogra Attends Ex-Husband Raqesh Bapat’s Ganesh Chaturthi Celebrations

On Ganesh Chaturthi, devotees across the country flocked to various pandals and temples to offer their prayers to Lord Ganesha. Among them was popular actress Ridhi Dogra, who was spotted early in the morning on September 7 at the iconic Lalbaugcha Raja pandal in Mumbai. In a video shared on Instagram, Ridhi is seen visiting the pandal, dressed in a beautiful white suit set with orange and pink floral work all over it. She styled her hair loosely and opted for delicate dainty, completing her minimal yet elegant look. The video captures her carrying a small basket of “puja samagri,” making her way towards the darshan with devotion and grace.

The caption read, “The doors of Lal Baug have opened on the auspicious day. Ridhi Dogra becomes the first celebrity to Darshan and we are sure we are going to be seeing a lot more in the coming 11 days….Ganpati Bappa Morya!!!”

Ridhi Dogra also shared glimpses of her Lalbaugcha Raja darshan on her Instagram Stories. In one of the Stories, she is seen touching her forehead to Lord Ganesha’s feet in a gesture of deep reverence. Another one features a full portrait of the majestic Lalbaugcha Raja, showcasing the grandeur of the iconic idol.

Ridhi Dogra also visited her ex-husband, Raqesh Bapat, who celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi by creating and worshipping his own idol of Lord Ganesha at home. Ridhi shared a beautiful photo of the handcrafted idol on Instagram, praising it with the caption, “Beautiful Gannu @raqeshbapat,” and added a “Ganpati Bappa Morya” sticker. She also posted a picture of Raqesh with the caption, “The art and the artist @raqeshbapat,” showcasing his artistic talent. Ridhi even shared a photo of herself, Raqesh, and a friend, captioning it, “Dosti ki maryada! But didn’t click a picture with Daksh.”

For those not familiar, Ridhi Dogra and Raqesh Bapat first crossed paths on the set of their daily soap Maryada…Lekin Kab Tak. They married in 2011 but went their separate ways after eight years.

On the professional front, Ridhi has made a mark with her roles in several web series, including Asur, The Married Woman and Mumbai Diaries. She also had a supporting role in the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan.
