Mumbai, Sep 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) Actress Shilpa Shetty and her businessman husband, Raj Kundra, performed Kanya Poojan at their home during Maha Ashtami on Tuesday.

This was followed by the poojan of other Kanyas who visited their home.

Shilpa's actress sister, Shamita, and mother Sunanda were also seen serving the chole, puri, and halwa prasad to the little Kanyas.

The 'Sukhee' actress wrote the caption, "On this sacred day of Maha Ashtami, we perform Kanya Poojan like every year with devotion, seeking the blessings of Maa Mahagauri. (Flower emoji) May Maa shower us all with happiness, peace and prosperity. Jai Mata Di(folded hands emoji) (sic)."

Varun simply captioned the post, “Happy Durga Ashtami #bestmeal.”
