Actress Madhoo Shah’s recent visit to Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja has sparked discussion online after a video from her darshan appeared to show an unusual moment involving a Rs 500 note she had offered at the pandal.
Madhoo, best known for playing the titular role in Mani Ratnam’s 1992 Tamil romantic drama Roja, visited Lalbaugcha Raja on Monday, September 21, amid the ongoing Ganeshotsav celebrations. The actress was seen seeking blessings at the iconic pandal and interacting with fans gathered at the venue.

Madhoo’s visit comes as Mumbai’s Ganeshotsav celebrations continue to draw devotees and celebrities to some of the city’s most prominent Ganpati pandals. The actress was seen participating in the festivities and seeking blessings during her visit.
On the work front, Madhoo was last seen in Governor: The Silent Saviour, which starred Manoj Bajpayee in the lead alongside Adah Sharma and Noushad Mohamed Kunju. The film released theatrically on June 12, 2026. The actress is now open with
