Singer Rahul Vaidya is all set to create history at the Lalbaugcha Raja. He will become the first singer to perform at the iconic place on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi. He will be performing live at Lalbaugcha Raja, for the first time in the history of the pandal in 91 years.

Rahul took to his Instagram and shared an announcement poster and penned in the caption, “Beyond Blessed to be the first artiste ever in the history of 91 years to perform at the very prestigious Lalbaugcha Raja, Mumbai! Catch it live on JioHotstar at 7 pm on 27th August.”

The singer also shared the excitement in a conversation with ANI and said, “I am very excited whenever I have to sing or whenever I have a concert. 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.”

The singer will also bring Ganpati Bappa to his home on Ganesh Chaturthi like every year. He expressed his excitement about the same and told the outlet, “We have a five-day Ganpati celebration at home, and the decorations and all preparations are about to begin. I am very excited, as always.”

Rahul added, “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.”

Speaking of his dengue diagnosis from the Ganpati celebrations last year, he added, “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 was recently seen in Laughter Chefs. He also participated in Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 11, where he reached the finals.
