He added, "Celebrating DHURANDHAR -- standing taller than any film in the world. Modak is a sweet dumpling offered to Lord Ganesha, symbolizing auspicious beginnings, prosperity, wisdom, and blessings. Pomegranate is considered sacred in many cultures around the world for health & wellbeing. Standing in front of my parents wedding picture and creating modaks from the molds I just got from Siddhivinayak Temple.....I'm truly humbled."
