The accidental photobomb
The funniest moment of the red carpet, however, involved cricketers Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya and Ishan Kishan photo bombing Shahid Kapoor. When the actor was posing at the red carpet, the trio—unaware that Shahid is standing there—walked behind him and stood there for pictures as well, taking a moment to realise thay had accidentally photo bombed his pictures. When Shahid turned to look back, they figured the goof up and were seen laughing.
Filmmaker Karan Johar, Ajay Devgn, Vicky Kaushal, actor couple Sidharth Malhotra-Kiara Advani, Varun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor, Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor, and Rashmika Mandanna among others were also seen at the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.
