The event was not just about entertainment; it served as a platform for Khan to advocate for environmental consciousness. He emphasized the importance of using biodegradable idols, crafted by students from BMC schools, to reduce pollution during the festival. "It's crucial that we celebrate with purity and respect for our environment," Khan stated, highlighting the issue of litter and improper idol disposal post-visarjan.

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the reunion of Salman Khan with actress Sonali Bendre, marking their first public appearance together since their memorable roles in "Hum Saath-Saath Hain" 25 years ago. The duo, who played Prem and Preeti, shared a warm embrace, sending fans into a frenzy of nostalgia. Social media platforms were soon flooded with posts from fans, many of whom expressed a desire to see them collaborate again.

This eco-friendly initiative by Khan not only brought back memories for fans but also set a precedent for celebrating festivals in harmony with nature, encouraging a shift towards more sustainable practices in the community.
