Bollywood Karwa Chauth (File)
New Delhi: Every year, many Bollywood actresses celebrate Karwa Chauth with elaborate decorations and share their photos on social media. However, there are some actresses in the film industry who have a different perspective on this tradition. For them, love, trust, and support are of paramount importance in a husband-wife relationship. This is why these stars' opinions on fasting on Karwa Chauth often make headlines.
While some beauties consider this tradition a personal choice, others have publicly questioned the importance of a wife's fasting and thirst for her husband's longevity. From Twinkle Khanna to Ratna Pathak Shah, many Bollywood actresses have expressed their frank opinions on relationships and marriage traditions.
Actress Sonam Kapoor doesn't observe the Karwa Chauth fast, but she enjoys dressing up, applying mehndi, and spending time with her family on the festival. In 2022, Sonam revealed that her husband, Anand Ahuja, doesn't support the Karwa Chauth fast and believes it should be observed intermittently. Therefore, Sonam has never observed this fast.
Akshay Kumar's wife, Twinkle Khanna, also doesn't observe the Karwa Chauth fast. She disagrees with the belief that a wife must fast for her husband's long life. Known for her outspoken opinions, she prefers to live her own life rather than follow this tradition.
Kareena Kapoor Khan is also among those actresses who do not observe the Karwa Chauth fast. According to media reports, Kareena believes that fasting and thirst are not necessary to show love and strength to her husband. She places greater importance on love, trust, and mutual respect in a relationship.
Veteran actress Ratna Pathak Shah has been in the news for questioning the tradition of Karwa Chauth. She believes that the belief that a wife must fast for her husband's long life is rooted in outdated thinking. She expressed her disagreement with this tradition, and subsequently faced criticism on social media.
Deepika Padukone is also included in the list of actresses who do not observe the Karwa Chauth fast. However, various media reports have made differing claims about the reason for her not observing the fast.
