Shrenu Parikh on watching 'Ganesh Kartikey' with Akshay Mhatre: 'After marrying into a Maharashtrian family..'

Sony SAB's mythological show Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki – Ganesh Kartikey takes audiences on a spiritual path by focusing on the eight sacred Ashtavinayak manifestations of Lord Ganesha. The ongoing storyline brings these divine forms to life, unfolding the myths, values, and deeper meanings linked to each Ashtavinayak, while gently reminding viewers of their religious importance.

For Shrenu Parikh, who essays the role of Goddess Parvati, this phase of the show feels deeply personal. After becoming a part of a Maharashtrian household, she had frequently heard about the revered Ashtavinayak temples, and seeing these stories portrayed on television has made the experience even more special. The episodes have now become a moment of togetherness for Shrenu and her husband, Akshay.

While watching this track, Akshay and I have been learning so many new details together about the temples, their legends, and what they mean to devotees. What's been really special is how my in-laws now sit with us and share their own experiences, rituals, and memories connected to the Ashtavinayak yatra

Adding to the warmth, the track has also opened up meaningful discussions at home. As the show progresses, Shrenu's in-laws have been sharing their own experiences, traditional practices, and memories connected to the Ashtavinayak pilgrimage, turning each episode into a richer and more culturally rooted family experience.

Sharing her thoughts, Shrenu opened up about how deeply personal this track has become for her. She revealed that although she had heard countless stories about the Ashtavinayak temples over the years, bringing those narratives to life on screen has allowed her to rediscover them in a completely new way.

Talking about the experience, she said, "I've heard so much about the Ashtavinayak temples after marrying into a Maharashtrian family, and now I'm reliving those stories on screen.
