As Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are in full swing across India, especially in Mumbai, Bollywood celebrities are joining in the festive spirit. The Khan family has long been known for its grand Ganesh Utsav celebrations, thanks to Salman Khan’s sister Arpita, who started the tradition. Over the years, many stars have joined the festivities, and one such memorable event from 2018 involving Katrina Kaif continues to be a topic of conversation.
Katrina Kaif’s Aarti Mishap at Salman Khan’s Ganesh Chaturthi Celebration
In 2018, Katrina Kaif attended Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations at Salman Khan’s home. The event saw many stars gather to seek Lord Ganesha’s blessings. However, what caught everyone’s attention was an unexpected moment when Katrina, while performing the aarti, accidentally did it in reverse.
This incident quickly went viral on social media, sparking significant attention from fans and critics alike. Many netizens criticized Katrina for not knowing how to perform the aarti properly. Despite being surrounded by Salman’s family, who were also present during the aarti, no one corrected her, leading to further trolling and commentary. Social media users questioned why Katrina was performing the aarti if she wasn’t familiar with the proper way to do it. Some even suggested she learn how to perform the aarti correctly.
The Aftermath of the Viral Video
Though Katrina faced heavy trolling at the time, the actress has since moved on from the incident and has never repeated the mistake. In fact, Katrina remains a beloved figure in the Khan family, particularly close to Salman’s sister Arpita. Despite the incident, Katrina continued to be seen at Khan family events, further showing that her relationship with them remained strong.
Katrina’s Journey Since the Incident
Six years have passed since the aarti mishap, and Katrina has moved forward in both her personal and professional life. While there were once rumors and hopes that Katrina might become part of the Khan family, especially when her relationship with Salman was at its peak, she eventually found love with actor Vicky Kaushal, whom she married in 2021. Today, Katrina is happily married and working on several upcoming film projects.
