Kartik Aaryan celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi in UK, says Miles away from home but never away from Bappa

Kartik Aaryan is celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi miles away from home this year, as he films the upcoming Captain India in the United Kingdom. While his professional commitments have taken him away from Mumbai during the festive occasion, the actor says he is missing the celebrations back home but is finding his own way to stay connected with the festival.

Ganesh Chaturthi in the UK

In a post shared with fans, he published a picture of himself with a Ganesh idol and wrote, "Miles away from home, but never away from Bappa! Ganpati Bappa Morya!"

The caption underscores the emotional side of celebrating a festival away from family, while also highlighting his devotion to Lord Ganesha.

Despite being in the UK, Kartik kept Ganesh Bappa close by sharing glimpses of traditional modaks and Chhole Bhature, a culinary nod to the familiar flavors of home.

Kartik has been balancing his work on Captain India with the festive observance, showing how the shoot schedule and festival spirit can coexist on location.
