  "account": "Bollywood star Salman Khan joined his brother Sohail Khan and relatives for Ganesh Chaturthi festivities, but a video of him conducting the aarti in the wrong direction went viral on social media. Captured during the ceremony at Sohail's residence, the moment shows Salman performing the ritual incorrectly before his sister Arpita Khan intervened. Arpita attempted to draw his attention by saying \"bhai ulta,\" but he did not initially understand her. Once he realized his mistake, he quickly corrected himself and shared the proper method with those around him. Salman's family members, including his nephews Arhaan Khan and Nirvan Khan, niece Ayat, and stepmother Helen, were present for the celebrations. Sohail Khan also participated in the Ganpati Visarjan, dancing and cheering along with friends such as Delbar Arya, Kushal Tandon, and Sargun.",
