The 10-day-long Durga puja festival comes to an end today. People and celebrities were seen celebrating the festival with full fervour. Rupali Ganguly, Sumona Chakravarti, and Ishita Dutta along with other notable figures, came together to participate in the traditional ritual of Sindoor Khela on the last day of Durga Puja. The vibrant celebration took place in Mumbai, marking the grand finale of the auspicious festival that honours the goddess Durga.
Rupali Ganguly wore a traditional Bengali saree as she participated in the festival. Sumona and Ishita were also seen applying sindoor on each other’s cheeks. Rani Mukerji also channeled the Bengali in her and opted for a traditional look. The actress dropped a series of photos in Bengali traditional beiger and red sari, as she arrived at her family’s Durga Puja pandal for Devi boron and sindoor khela. Rani looked soaked in the festive fervour as she engaged in sindoor khela with her friends and family and smeared vermillion on their faces. Post sindoor khela, she made her way up to ladder for Debi boron – the traditional way of bidding Ma Durga adieu with sweets, sindoor and betel leaves.

Rupali is also seen wiping her tears and talking to her.
Rupali Ganguly recently discussed that during her six-and-a-half-year break from work, she received several fantastic television offers. However, most of these offers required her to play the role of “hero ki maa.” She explained that these roles were mainly for characters with much younger heroes, who were in their twenties. Rupali decided not to accept these offers because she wanted to prioritize her role as a mother and enjoy motherhood during that period of her life.
