Karwachauth 2020: Bollywood goes heavy on the red

Here is a rundown of what favourite Bollywood divas wore on the occasion this week

Karwachauth is a festival celebrated by Hindus every year, wherein wives fast for one whole day to get long and healthy lives for their husbands. They then look at the moon and break their fast at night.

On this day, the ladies also dress up primarily in bright red shades and deck up to the nines – almost like they did on their actual wedding days! As compiled from Pinkvilla, here is a rundown of what our favourite Bollywood divas wore on the auspicious occasion this week.  

• Priyanka Chopra Jonas 

Celebrating her second karwachauth with American husband Nick Jonas, PC was all smiles in a bright simple red chiffon saree with a statement spaghetti strap blouse. She accessorised her look well with a statement ring, gold bangles, diamond earrings and her mangalsutra. A simple red lip and bindi completed her look.

• Kajol Devgan

Kajol looked absolutely radiant, also in a bright red saree with a gold scalloped border. She styled this with a simple blouse that bore golden embroidered spaghetti straps. A gold necklace, matching earrings and bangles made for the perfect accessories. A small red bindi, neutral lips and kohl-lined eyes completed Kajol's look.
