In the video, he says, "Hi guys, so this year again, I am going to make an eco-friendly Ganesha."

He is seen making the turbaned idol from scratch and even paints it.

"This turban represents every farmer in India. As a son of a farmer, I dedicate this idol to them," Riteish, son of late Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, posted.

Thanking his wife Genelia, Ritesh wrote: "I wanna thank Baiko for inspiring me to do this and also for shooting this video. God bless you all with happiness, prosperity and love."

So proud of you ... https://t.co/5Ml0w2l03A
