Salman Khan joined his brother Sohail Khan and other family members for Ganpati visarjan celebrations in Mumbai on September 15. The actor’s appearance at the family celebration attracted attention, with photographs and videos from the event being widely shared online.
One particular video from the celebration showed a lighthearted interaction between Salman Khan and actor Varun Sharma. According to reports, Varun was offering prayers to Lord Ganesha while Salman waited nearby. Salman then appeared to jokingly tease Varun about the amount of time he was taking to make his wishes. The exchange was captured on video and subsequently circulated across social media platforms.
Reports said Salman playfully asked Varun, “Aur kitna wish mangega?” during the moment. The interaction was presented as a friendly exchange, with Varun and people around him appearing amused by Salman’s comment. The video became one of the moments from the celebration that received significant attention online.
The celebration took place at Sohail Khan’s residence in Mumbai. According to Moneycontrol, Sohail Khan had welcomed Ganpati Bappa into his home for a day and a half before the visarjan. Salman was seen arriving at the residence and later participating in the family’s Ganpati rituals.
The Khan family’s Ganpati celebrations have regularly attracted attention because several members of the family participate in the festivities. Salman Khan has also been seen attending Ganesh Chaturthi and visarjan celebrations with his family in previous years.
This year’s celebration brought together members of the Khan family as well as several friends and personalities from the Hindi film industry. Reports said Arpita Khan, Alvira Khan, Arhaan Khan, Nirvaan Khan and Ayat were among those who participated in the family celebrations. Other Bollywood personalities were also present during the festivities.
Varun Sharma’s presence at the celebration also attracted attention because of his association with the Hindi film industry. The actor is known for his roles in films including Fukrey and Dilwale. His interaction with Salman became particularly noticeable because of the informal and humorous nature of the exchange.
The viral video does not show a formal interview or a scripted promotional event. Instead, it captures a casual moment during a family religious celebration. Such candid interactions between Bollywood personalities often receive attention after videos are shared by paparazzi accounts and entertainment pages.
The Ganpati visarjan marked the conclusion of the family’s celebration after the idol was brought home. Visarjan is traditionally observed at the end of Ganesh Chaturthi festivities, when devotees take the idol in a procession before immersing it in water.
Salman Khan was also seen participating in other parts of the celebration. Another video from the event showed the actor performing Ganpati aarti with family members. A separate clip later circulated online showing his sister Arpita Khan correcting him during the aarti after he appeared to rotate the aarti plate in the wrong direction.
The celebration also featured several familiar faces from Bollywood. Reports listed personalities including Kriti Sanon, Disha Patani, Karan Johar, Kajol, Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Rekha, Sidharth Malhotra, Kiara Advani, Varun Dhawan, Natasha Dalal, Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia Deshmukh and Madhuri Dixit among those associated with the wider Ganpati festivities.
For Salman Khan, participation in Ganpati celebrations has been a recurring part of his public appearances over the years. Reports have documented his involvement in family aarti ceremonies and visarjan processions on several occasions. The 2026 celebration once again brought the actor together with his family and friends during the festival.
The latest viral clip has therefore drawn attention not because of a major announcement or film update, but because it showed Salman Khan interacting casually with Varun Sharma during the religious celebration. The actor’s playful comment while waiting for Varun to finish his prayers became a widely discussed moment on social media.
The event also demonstrates how celebrity appearances during major Indian festivals can quickly become entertainment news when videos from the celebrations are shared online. In this case, the interaction between Salman and Varun became one of the most widely circulated clips from Sohail Khan’s Ganpati visarjan.
At present, the available reports describe the exchange as a playful interaction between the two actors. There is no indication that the conversation was connected to any professional announcement. The video primarily captures a candid moment during the family’s Ganpati celebration.
Salman Khan’s participation in Sohail Khan’s Ganpati visarjan, along with the presence of other family members and Bollywood personalities, made the celebration a notable gathering. The viral exchange with Varun Sharma added an additional entertainment angle to the event, with fans and social media users sharing the clip across platforms.
