Salman, too, takes keen interest in the festival. Asked how she feels when people appreciate their clan as a secular family, she said: "Actually, we have always been a secular family and I think everyone knows that, so I feel happy."

Adding to Arpita's statement, Aayush said: "I think the whole idea of a country is to be secular and that's the basic spirit of India. So, we are always excited to celebrate Ganapati festival at home. We celebrate all religions Christmas, Eid, Diwali, Holi and every other festival. I feel that's what the family is all about."
