My friend Ganesha- Sarvar Ahuja
Punjabi munda Sarvar Ahuja is for the first time celebrating Ganeshutsav, with the commotion that matches up to the Maharashtrain spirit.
Ahuja hails from Hyderabad. He only recently moved to Mumbai to pursue his acting career, commencing with a reality show ‘Cine Star Ki Khoj’. As he is Punjabi by birth, he has not witness the furor of this kind during Ganeshutsav ever before, as he is new to aamchi Mumbai.
But now that he is in Mumbai, and is also a part of the serial that is culturally based in Maharashtra he is witnessing the delight of rejoicing the festival in a grand way, way beyond his expectation.
He fits in the brigade of actors who have struck the perfect balance between films and television. Hope Lord Ganesha gives him all the strength to keep up the right balancing act.
