It was Bipasha Basu's desire to visit Lalbaugcha Raja this year with her mother Mamta, her manager Tanujaa Mehra, Madhuri (hairdresser) and Safar (spotboy).
The Times of India arranged for her to attend the aarti. She arrived at the venue at 8 pm, wearing a Manish Malhotra ensemble. Word of her arrival spread quickly and the security guards had a tough time keeping the crowd at bay. Bips was initially nervous but performed the aarti along with Sonu Nigam, wife Madhurima and son Nevaan. Sonu even sang the aarti.
Said Bipasha, "For the past six years, maa has wanted me to take her to visit Lalbaug Cha Raja. So this year I took a day off from work for her, as TOI arranged the visit for me. We braved the traffic and reached on time, but as I stepped out of the car I realised that there was a sea of people around us. There were a few scary minutes but somehow we got in. It was chaos, but once we were in front of the mangal murti all my tension vanished."
She adds, "It was a magical experience. Sonu sang the aarti and so many prayed together. The cops, armed guards and volunteers are doing a great job there. I will surely visit next year too!"
