Today is Karwa Chauth, a special event for married women in India. On this occasion, married women fast for the long life of their beloved husbands. Many married Bollywood actresses like Anushka Sharma, Shilpa Shetty, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and many more are observing this fast.
However, some do not fast for their husbands. Although some women do not believe the Karwa Chauth ritual to be romantic, there are other reasons as well. Our list includes Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt, and more. Check it out.
Alia Bhatt
Brahmastra actress Alia Bhatt, the gorgeous beauty is pregnant with Ranbir Kapoor’s baby, and fasting is not recommended while expecting a baby. Since the child is on board, it rules out Alia.
Bipasha Basu
Bachna Ae Haseeno beauty Bipasha Basu is also expecting her first child with her handsome husband Karan Singh Grover. This also excludes her from fasting on Karwa Chauth.
Kareena Kapoor Khan
Kareena Kapoor Khan has a different take on Karwa Chauth. The actress believes that there is no need to fast for her husband Saif Ali Khan to prove her love. She said this in 2013.
Mira Rajput
Mira Rajput is married to Shahid Kapoor since 2015. Mira made a funny comment about it when she posted a note last Karwa Chauth, saying that while she loves Shahid, she also loves the food but will try it next year.
Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor is married to Anand Ahuja since 2018. The actress and her entrepreneur husband welcomed a baby boy a few weeks ago. Since Sonam is a new mother, she is not advised to observe fast as her baby needs to be fed.
Twinkle Khanna
Twinkle Khanna also had a scientific view on the matter. She feels that one needs to have a slow metabolism to prolong one’s life, not fasting. So, Twinkle is against Karwa Chauth.
