Actor Bhagyashree has found herself embroiled in a family dispute over performing the traditional Ganpati aarti at the royal family-owned Ganpati Panchayatan temple in Sangli, Maharashtra. The disagreement centres on who has the right to carry out the ritual following the adoption of Yuvraj Adityaraje Patwardhan by Bhagyashree’s parents.

Bhagyashree faces family objection

Bhagyashree, who was born into the former royal family of Sangli, returned to the city after four years and performed the aarti at the temple. Her father, Vijaysinhraje Patwardhan, was reportedly not present at the time. The incident has since brought the long-standing family differences into the spotlight.
