Isha Koppikar, a Bollywood actress, constructed an eco-friendly idol because she believes in celebrating Ganesh Utsav without affecting the environment. She also chose to decorate it with flowers and clay lights.

She said: “I avoid using decorations made of plastic and use fresh flowers, leaves and diyas to decorate the pandals for the Ganesh festival. We can also make rangolis and add natural beauty to the Ganpati celebrations.”

On briefing about how she has decorated the house and made Ganpati idol by using natural products, the ‘Krishna Cottage’ actress shared: “Replacing the idea of sewing store-bought plastic bandhanwars (door hanging) with the ones made of flowers, clay, thread, clothes, making the idol with paper etc really makes a difference in the plastic waste at the end of the season. I think just a little thoughtfulness on our part can go a long way in helping the world.”

Isha is well-known for her work in the films “Ek Vivaah… Aisa Bhi” and “Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?” She is currently preparing for her upcoming project, a Tamil science-fiction movie called “Ayalaan,” which will be directed by R. Ravikumar. Sivakarthikeyan, Rakul Preet Singh, Sharad Kelkar, and Isha play the prominent characters in it.
