'I don't fast, I like food': Sonam Kapoor flaunts mehndi, Shilpa Shetty shares sneak peek of special sargi ahead of Karwa Chauth

One of the most auspicious occasions celebrated all across India is Karwa Chauth, especially by married women, who observe a day-long fast for their husbands. This year, Karwa Chauth will be celebrated today, October 20. The festival involves married women dressing in new clothes, applying mehendi, and praying together to wish for their spouse's health and longevity.

Over the years, many Bollywood celebrities have celebrated Karwa Chauth at Sunita Kapoor's house. Shilpa Shetty, Sonam Kapoor, Raveena Kapoor, and others deck up in beautiful festive red outfits to ring in the festivities.
