Ranveer Singh marked Ganesh Chaturthi with a visit to Mumbai’s iconic Lalbaugcha Raja, where he sought blessings for himself and his family. The actor’s visit became notable for another reason when he announced a commitment to support the education of 1,000 girls through the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan.
Ranveer made the announcement on September 17, coinciding with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 76th birthday. Speaking to News18 after offering prayers at the famous Mumbai pandal, the actor said he was joining the initiative and would support the education of 1,000 daughters.
Ranveer Singh visits Lalbaugcha Raja
Ranveer Singh arrived at Lalbaugcha Raja amid the ongoing Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. Dressed in a white kurta-pyjama, the actor was seen making his way through the crowded venue before offering prayers to Lord Ganesha.
During his interaction with the media, Ranveer spoke about the happiness his family had experienced over the past year. He said that he had come to seek Bappa’s blessings, express his gratitude and pray for the journey ahead.
The actor’s visit came during a significant period in his personal life as well as his career. Ranveer and Deepika Padukone are preparing to welcome their second child, while the actor is also continuing work on his upcoming projects.
Ranveer announces education initiative
The biggest announcement from Ranveer’s visit came when he revealed his association with the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan.
According to reports, Ranveer pledged to support the education of 1,000 girls as part of the initiative. He made the announcement while referring to both Ganesh Chaturthi and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday.
The actor said that he hoped the initiative would bring Bappa’s blessings and that the support would contribute towards the education of the girls involved. Multiple reports have described the commitment as support for the education of 1,000 girls, with some specifically referring to them as underprivileged girls.
The exact implementation details, including the names of the beneficiaries, the duration of the educational support and the financial structure of the commitment, have not been detailed in the reports currently available.
What is the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan?
Ranveer’s announcement comes as several Bollywood personalities have been associated with education-related initiatives under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan around the Prime Minister’s birthday.
The campaign has featured commitments related to education and social initiatives. Alongside Ranveer’s pledge involving 1,000 girls, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor have also announced a commitment to support the refurbishment of 20 schools based on recommendations from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.
These announcements have brought attention to the participation of film personalities in the campaign, particularly around initiatives connected with education.
A memorable year for Ranveer Singh
Ranveer’s visit to Lalbaugcha Raja comes after a busy year professionally and personally. The actor has been in the spotlight following the success of Dhurandhar and its sequel, while his next project is Jay Mehta’s Pralay.
At the same time, Ranveer and Deepika Padukone are preparing for the arrival of their second child. Their daughter Dua recently turned two, adding another personal milestone to an already eventful period for the family.
Against this backdrop, Ranveer described the past year as a happy one for himself and his family and said that he had visited Lalbaugcha Raja to express gratitude and seek blessings for what lies ahead.
Bollywood celebrities and social initiatives
Ranveer’s pledge is part of a series of announcements involving Bollywood personalities around September 17. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s commitment to 20 school refurbishments and Ranveer’s education pledge for 1,000 girls have both placed education at the centre of their respective announcements.
For Ranveer, the announcement came directly from his interaction with the media following his visit to Lalbaugcha Raja. Rather than simply marking the festival with prayers, he used the occasion to publicly announce his participation in an education-focused initiative.
The details of how the pledge will be executed are expected to provide greater clarity on the scale and duration of the support. For now, Ranveer Singh’s stated commitment is to support the education of 1,000 girls through the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan.
