With Ganesh Chaturthi Being Just Around The Corner, Over 27 Top Bollywood Celebs Are All Set To Bring In Their Favorite Revered Idol Home . The List Includes Hrithik Roshan, Nana Patekar, Vivek Oberoi , Shilpa Shetty, Sonu Sood, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Jeetendra, Salman Khan. There Are Also Those Film Celebs Like  Aruna Irani And Govind Namdeo Who Prefer The Eco-Friendly Colored Papier-Mache Ganesha Idol. Speaking Exclusively To Me, The Charming Versatile Lead Actress-Cum-Agile Danseuse Aruna Irani (Who Is Known For Her Mega-Hit Landmark Movies Like ‘Caravan’, ‘Bombay To Goa’ , ‘Love Story’ And ‘Beta’ ) Disclosed That She Has Been A Staunch Ganesha-Bhakt For Over Past Three Decades. “ Frankly I Prefer A Private Homely Pooja-Aarti Of Ganpati-Bappa For One-And-A-Half Days And Totally Avoid Any Media-Hype. Ever Since I Came To Know About The Eco-Friendly Ganesha Options Being Made By Rohit Vaste,  I Decided To Patronize It And Bring It Home. It Looks So Much Like The Conventional P-O-P Idols And Yet It Is Not. In My Own Little Way I Am Contributing To Environment-Friendly Initiatives,”  Insists Affable Aruna Who Was Recently Seen In The Popular Sony TV Show ‘Yeh Un Dino Ki Baat Hai’ Playing A Rejuvenated Cameo Version Of Herself.  But Every Year After The Festive Fever Fades Out, The Rivers And Seas Are Polluted With The POP And Synthetic Colors That Are Used To Make The Ganesh Idols. The Creative Rohit, After Years Of Hit And Trial Has Revolutionized Ganesha Idols By Creating Them Out Of Papier-Mâché Using Harmless Pastel Colours.The Idols Look Mesmerizing And Are No Different Than The Ones Made Out Of Clay, Or Plaster Of Paris (Pop). On The Contrary, They Are Ten Times Stronger Than Idols Made Out Of Pop, Disintegrate In Water Like Any Other Idol And Can Also Be Home-Delivered. Rohit, The Creative Sculptor-Artist Since 14 Years And The Man Behind Paper Ganesha Says, “I Got This Brain-Wave Idea After I Saw Some Kashmiri Papier-Mâché Bangles On Display At A Market. What We Now Do Is Create A Dough-Like Substance From A Mixture Of Clay And Mashed Paper And Then Mould It Into An Idol. Later, We Put Another Layer Of Paper On Top, And Polish And Paint It.”
