karwa chauth 2024: Karwa Chauth, a festival celebrated for the long life of husbands, is being celebrated across the country today. On the day of Karva Chauth, married women observe Nirjala fast to attain unbroken good fortune. This festival is also very popular in the entertainment industry, but along with the celebrity wives, their husbands also observe this fast. Celebrity wives have also shared their husbands' association with this festival and their preparations. Conversation with Urmila Kori.

My husband has been fasting for me for the last two years: Kamya Punjabi

Ever since I met Shalabh, I have started doing Karva Chauth. By the way, for the last two years he has also started doing Karva Chauth with me. They feel that if my wife is keeping it, then I should also keep it. Karva Chauth is a very special festival for me. Every year on Karva Chauth I try to have a different look. Sometimes she wore Banarasi saree and sometimes she wore lehenga. This time also my look will be different from last time. Well, the real adornment of the married woman is vermillion and mangalsutra, so that is definitely there. The most special Karva Chauth was last year, when I went to my in-laws' house in Delhi for Karva Chauth. It was very special to do the Sargi and all the rituals of Karva Chauth with my mother-in-law.

Chirag keeps fast for me despite being a Parsi: Krishna Mukherjee

Last year it was my first Karva Chauth. I celebrated it at my mother's house, so she told me all the customs and rituals. Therefore, there was not much problem, but this time I am celebrating Karva Chauth in Mumbai. I have to do everything alone. By the way, my husband Chirag also observes the fast with me, so we both will observe the customs and rituals together. I will definitely ask my mother about everything over the phone. Chirag is a Parsi and I am a Bengali, so this festival is not celebrated in our country, but I was born and brought up in Punjab, so I always had in my mind that I will definitely celebrate this festival after my marriage. During this time I will wear a red colored saree or some ghagra. This time also I am planning to adorn myself like a new bride. Which will include everything from applying mehendi and vermilion to wearing lots of bangles. My husband Chirag also observes this fast with me. There is a different joy in breaking the fast after seeing each other.

In my family, along with the wives, all the husbands also observe fast: Hunar Hali

Karva Chauth is a festival of fasting with devotion. I respect that sentiment very much. There is a tradition in my husband's family to keep fast for their wives also, so my husband also keeps fast with me. In such a situation, this festival becomes more special. Like every Indian woman, I also like to wear traditional clothes especially red color on Karva Chauth. The most special memory related to Karva Chauth is of my first Karva Chauth. As far as gifts are concerned on Karva Chauth, my husband likes to give me jewelery on every Karva Chauth.

My husband and I break our fast after seeing each other: Pyumori Mehta

Karva Chauth is a festival which further strengthens the relationship between husband and wife. The special moment associated with Karva Chauth is when both my husband and I break our fast after looking at the moon together. That moment is very sweet. By the way, we also do sargi together in the morning. As far as look is concerned, Karva Chauth means wearing red or pink, so this time too I am going to wear the same color. I will make a long braid and there will be a lot of vermillion on the forehead. I will also apply mehndi. I think this is the decoration of Karva Chauth.
