Television actress Simran Budharup has hit out at the organisers of Lalbaugcha Raja 2024 for allegedly man-handling her mother and her, as they visited the revered Ganpati Mandal for darshan. Known as Mumbai's No.1 Ganesh pandal, Lalbaugcha Raja is visited by a number of celebrities as well as common citizens every year during the Ganesh Festival. But it seems this year, only VVIP attendees got good treatment at the pandal. Simran Budharup posted a video from Lalbaugcha Raja 2024 Ganeshotsav Mandal, where she can be seen slamming a woman volunteer for misbehaving with her mother. It seems the actress and her mother stood in the queue for hours to get a darshan of Bappa, but were pushed away. Is Ganpati Bappa Only for VIPs?
