'Bollywood is Declining Our Culture': Sonam Kapoor Trolled for Wearing Mangalsutra Around WristSonam Kapoor has once again found herself in the midst of a Twitter frenzy after the actress was spotted wearing her mangalsutra, an auspicious necklace that a groom ties around the bride's neck in an Indian wedding ceremony, as a bracelet during the promotions of her upcoming film Veere Di Wedding.

While most of the fashion police praised Sonam for setting the new trend, many Twitter users slammed the actress for "disrespecting" the Indian culture and the sacred institution of marriage.
"Mangalsutra is not compulsion but it is love by wife for her husband. And it should always be nearby heart for which it is weared in neck. This bollywood is declining our culture day by day as they grow up in foreign. So they are mixture of indian+foreign," a Twitter user wrote.

One user posted, "So mangal sutra can be wore as bracelet... you don't follow religion don't. Why all this drama?" while another said, "This is the problem of so called feminests... Not following tradition is absolutely fine but tweaking it to your convenience is WRONG."
Earlier, the actress was brutally slammed for changing her last name to Ahuja shortly after her wedding. Sonam tied the knot with Anand, a Delhi-based businessman, in a private ceremony on May 8 in Mumbai.

Sonam also has a normal mangalsutra.
Apart from that it is really quiet commendable that she has found it important enough to get herself a version which she can wear a lot more/all the time on her wrist.
Most people nowadays even aunties such as my mom aged 50 and above dont wear one at all as most people if at all wear rings, but she has found it important enough to get herself a more wearable one which is cute.
Twitter idiots have no business at all in judging

My friend has been wearing Mangal Sutra on hand since 2014. She had it custom made.

Sonam is in no way trend setter.

So hata saavan ki ghata. hurrr!

I am not her fan and don't care for her at all. But people of India please get a life. It's her mangal sutra she can do what ever she wants with it.

Uss din priyanka Chopra ne bhi yahi stunt kia tha and tab there wrremany comments ki aisa kaun karta hai...log faltu mein zada soch rahe Hain. Well, apparently the fastest forward in fashion, miss sonam who couldn't apply this creativity in her wedding dresses, has caught on to the trend. Good for her.
Personally, I feel people who are modern wouldn't care to wear the mangalsutra altogether. This wearing on the wrist is just to create some stir or prove how rebellious she is when she's such a far cry from that, it's almost painful.
