Former Bigg Boss contestant Shiv Thakare has opened up about his deep connection with Lord Ganesh (Bappa), and shared his plans for this Ganesh Chaturthi. Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated on the Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month. This year it will be observed on September 19.

Talking about the festivities, Shiv said, "Everyone knows the connection that I share with Bappa. I strongly believe in Bappa, and he is the source of my strength. I never start anything auspicious without seeking his blessings and even before I began my journey on ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 13’, I visited the Siddhivinayak temple."
