Like many across the country, actor Ankita Lokhande is brimming with excitement for Ganesh Chaturthi. She commenced the celebrations by bringing home the Ganesha idol. On Friday evening, Ankita and her mother were spotted collecting the idol from pandals in Mumbai.

Mumbai, in particular, sees an influx of devotees visiting mandals to seek blessings.

For the celebrations, devotees bring Lord Ganesha idols to their homes, observe fasts, make delicious food, and visit pandals. On the career front, Ankita Lokhande is set to star in a new web series titled 'Amrapali,' in collaboration with filmmaker Sandeep Singh.

Sharing the news on Instagram, Sandeep Singh announced Aktia's casting as the iconic 'nagarvadhu' Amrapali, praising her strength, grace, and resilience. The series will explore Amrapali's journey from being an imperial courtesan to becoming a Buddhist nun, depicting her emotional and challenging journey. Fans can look forward to this grand series, produced by Legend Studios and featuring musical maestro Ismail Darbar's highly anticipated return. (ANI)
