After two long years, the festivities are back in full swing. And Karwa Chauth this year was celebrated with much zeal, enthusiasm and excitement. It’s a major festival for all married women in India, where they dress up in their most gorgeous Indian ensembles in vibrant hues. Bollywood's divas, too, put their most fashionable foot forward. From opting for Benarasi saris and brocade suits, to wearing sharara sets and printed co-ords and suits in shades of red and hot pink, they pulled off statement outfits with ease. Let's look at the best Karwa Chauth from celebrations in 2021 that we are drooling over.
Varun Dhawan and Natasha Dalal
After tying the knot in January 2021, Varun Dhawan and Natasha Dalal celebrated their first Karwa Chauth this year. The actor took to Instagram to share an adorable post with his wife on the special occasion. Both looked sharply dressed. While the designer chose a lavender suit set, Dhawan complemented her in a peach chikankari kurta.
Mira Rajput Kapoor
Well it's no surprise that Ridhi Mehra is the go-to designer for Mira Rajput Kapoor. Known for her modern and chic sense of style, Rajput Kapoor made heads turn in a fuchsia printed sharara set by the designer. Paired with diamond and emerald earrings, her look was tastefully put together. The star attended the puja at Sunita Kapoor's residence alongside other actors from the fraternity. She captioned her post "??Mind control with a side of mushiness I did it my way.. Tradition reinvented. Using the occasion to allow the digestive system some rest, redirecting the mind to be more productive and not focusing on food, and enjoying some fun moments of culture If you control the mind you can do just about anything."
Shilpa Shetty Kundra
Keeping the festive spirit high was Shilpa Shetty Kundra. Donning the auspicious colour of red with a touch of gold, she chose to keep the look classic and traditional. Sindoor, her mangalsutra, a red bindi and red bangles added to the authenticity of the Indian avatar.
Anissa Malhotra Jain
After a lavish Indian wedding in February 2020, actor Armaan Jain and stylist Anissa Malhotra Jain celebrated their second Karwa Chauth in style. Anissa also made her way to Sunita Kapoor's puja looking ravishing in a hot pink anarkali suit featuring a cut-out at the waist and a leheriya dupatta. Armaan looked dapper in a crisp white kurta set paired with a cream Nehru jacket.
Yami Gautam
She is the most recent Bollywood celebrity to have tied the knot, and following the festivities of her wedding is Karwa Chauth. Yami Gautam looked happy and in love as she captioned her post: "‘We see the same moon, you and I…’ Our first Karvachauth".
Sonali Bendre
Making a true fashion statement was Sonali Bendre who wore her 19-year-old Manish Malhotra wedding lehenga to evoke emotions on the special occasion. Adding a modern touch was a mangalsutra by Bulgari. The actor radiated beauty in her pink and orange lehenga. "I have always believed that traditions are what you make of them... to me they are a bridge between the past, present and future. I respect where they came from but never hesitated to give it my own meaning. Karwa Chauth is one such festival… to me, it has always been a celebration of family and friends that are family. A day spent in rituals with the people you love. The fact that I get pampered by my husband is a bonus. It’s a celebration of togetherness and companionship, cementing the love we share with our husbands & the bond between our family and friends," Bendre shared a post that beautifully summed up the meaning of Karwa Chauth in words.
