First of all, let us take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Karwa Chauth. On this special festival, married women fast for the longevity of their husbands. They begin their day with a pre-dawn meal known as sargi, fast throughout the day, come together for puja in the evening and break their fast once the moon rises, following all the traditional rituals. Like many of us, our favourite celebrities also observe this auspicious occasion. Let us take a look at some of the posts shared by these stars.
1. Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor shared a beautiful image of her mehendi in her Instagram stories. The design on one palm showcases an elephant, while a peacock is beautifully depicted on the other. Additionally, her forearms feature the names of her husband, Anand Ahuja, and their son, Vayu, elegantly written in henna. Even though Sonam Kapoor is not fasting this year, she still glammed up for the festivities. Here’s another post for evidence:
