Style statements with a marital twist

The latest fad in tellywood that seems to have caught the newly married damsels is

flaunting of the chuda and the sindoor wherever they go and trying to match it up with whatever they are wearing.While according to the tradition one is supposed to wear it for 40 days into marriage but our celebs like to carry along their 'emblem' of marriage for longer, all because they are loving it!

Shilpa Saklani married to Apurva Agnihotri loves wearing her chuda not because her in-laws want her to but for the simple love of it.

Says Shilpa honestly "I love to wear the chuda with both western as well as Indian clothes and I wear the first and the last bangle on even when I am shooting and thereafter I put on the entire set of bangles. I also wear the sindoor and my magalsutra which has a Krishna on it ,all the time without fail. You get married only once in a lifetime and it makes sense to enjoy your newly wed look."

Rajeshwari Sachdev married to Varun Badola does not want reasons to flaunt her newly

married symbol which she is very fond of wearing. While the chuda is to be worn for a year and a quarter in the Badola household she will however wear it for as long as she can with anything she wants.

"I asked my grandmother if I could wear it for more than a year and she told me that I could do so as the bangles now a days are not made of ivory and are long lasting than before. And being newly married, I prefer to wear it with anything and everything and I hate to remove it when I am shooting.I love flaunting my sindoor and the thali (a south Indian ornament).Rajeshwari apparently has had a South Indian cum Garhwali cum Punjabi wedding.

Manini De whose father is from Orissa and who herself was once married to a Bengali and now to Mihir Misra, wore her chuda for half the year until she realized that it was way too impractical for her to continue wearing it so she sticks to her sindoor which is a must in the East besides the magalsutra and the payal which she loves to put on most of the times. She has a modern mom-in-law by her side who according to Manini is very 'with it' and gives her a free hand to wear anything she wants to.

Manini truly believes in the whole concept of the institution of marriage and likes to wear her traditional stuff with conviction.

Shweta Kawatra married to Manav Gohil decided to stop wearing her chuda after three months of marriage because it was a matter of personal choice for her and prefers to wear her engagement ring only.

So it's raining marriages, accessories and style statements of sorts for our tellystars who are willingly adorning themselves with all this off screen.
