Asked about the ongoing Ganesh festival, the “Housefull 3” actress said: “I think all festivals are very exciting. Ganesh Chaturthi is the most thrilling. And now being a part of the film and promotion during this festival time, it is fun.”

Riteish, who was also present at the event, shared the experience of playing the role of a banjo performer.

“It is not that this instrument is alien to me. I have one banjo in my house. I knew how to play. But for my role, I worked hard. I met some banjo players and watched them while they were playing the instrument.

“Banjo is played keeping it on your lap. Ravi Jadhav (the film’s director) wanted us to perform as a rock star group. So, we tried to play the instrument in a stylish way,” he said.
