Rahul Vaidya becomes the first singer to perform at Lalbaugcha Raja during Ganesh Chaturthi

Singer Rahul Vaidya has created history by becoming the first-ever singer to perform at the famous Lalbaugcha Raja. The ace singer, who every year brings Ganpati Bappa home during Ganesh Chaturthi, is especially excited this time as he will not only welcome Bappa into his home but also perform live at the iconic pandal.On August 27, on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi, Rahul will be seen performing live at Lalbaugcha Raja, making him the first artist in 91 years to do so. Expressing his happiness, Rahul shared on Instagram, “Blessed to be the first artist ever to perform at the very prestigious Lalbaugcha Raja, Mumbai.”In a conversation with ANI, the singer opened about how special this performance is for him. “I am very excited whenever I have to sing or whenever I have a concert.

But this time, the excitement is even more as the celebration has gotten bigger, thanks to the place where I am performing. Lalbaugcha Raja is the most auspicious and the most blessed stage that anyone can have.”Talking further, Rahul said this was one of the most important events of his career and added, “I don't think I could have been happier. There are many performances, but this one has got to be special.”At the event, Rahul will also sing his latest devotional track ‘Sukhkarta X Jai Jai Ganesha’ along with other bhajans dedicated to Lord Ganesha.

He revealed, “It will have a traditional and cultural touch to it. I am not going to do anything out of the box. I have compiled 6-7 devotional songs. I am making sure that the sound is very different. I have also gotten myself a very beautiful Indian outfit.”Apart from his performance, Rahul is equally excited to welcome Ganpati at his home. Talking about his five-day Ganpati celebration, he said, “The decorations and all preparations are about to begin.

I am very excited, as always. I am not good at decorations, nor am I good at making modaks. I myself went and confirmed the Ganpati. Getting Bappa home is my only duty. Preparations and all are done by Disha.”Last year, Rahul had to miss out on making a Ganpati song as he was diagnosed with dengue around the same time. Looking back at it, he said, “I had dengue around the same time last year, so I couldn’t make a song. But I try and make a song every year for Ganpati, and this is something that comes from the heart and does not require planning.”Rahul Vaidya rose to fame with Indian Idol season 1, where he was the second runner up for the season. Over the years, he has built a strong career with hit songs and live performances. The singer was last seen in the reality show Laughter Chefs, where he showcased his funny side and cooking skills. Talking about the show, Rahul said, “When I used to go to a show before Laughter Chefs, people used to tell me they still haven’t forgotten my participation in Indian Idol.

Now people have somehow stopped talking about it because I think they like Laughter Chefs more.” Rahul has also been a part of Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 11, where he reached the finals.
