Bollywood ladies on Karva Chauth

B-town ladies who kept Karva Chauth for their beloveds

We bring you the lowdown on which of the industry's ladies - committed and married - are fasting for the day

They're happily married/engaged/in a relationship. And all of Bollywood's ladies fitting the description know the benefits of fasting on Karva Chauth for their beloveds. While some are keeping up the parampara, others offer reasons for skipping the annual tradition altogether. We run you through what they did yesterday...

Equality Zindabad
Twinkle Khanna: Akshay Kumar's wife biwi fasts every year and hubby too stays away from food and water on this day. The duo has a quiet get-together at home along with close friends of the couple.
Model-turned-actor Rajneish Duggall kept the Karva Chauth fast yesterday on behalf of his wife Pallavee. As she is pregnant, she couldn't fast. So the 1920 actor abstained from khaana-peena and prayed for the health of his wife and the child. Pallavee is due in November and this will be the couple's first child.


Helps the wives, too!
Kajol: Spotted sitting at the dining table of the Devgn residence, feeding breakfast to beti Nysa.
She was observing the fast along with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Ajay was heard joking, "I have told her many times not to fast but it is something she likes to do.
I don't know how it helps in increasing the husband's life, but I am sure it helps the wives.
They fast for a whole day, detox their systems and get healthy, so I think it benefits them more."



Honey, i'm hungry!
Mana Shetty: Husband Sunil flew in from Kolhapur to help Mana break her fast on time. Sunil said, "No matter where I am, I have to make sure that I am back by evening on this day. Mana has rung me up to tell me to come home fast as she was feeling hungry."

Savin' it for a seven!
Kareena Kapoor: After fasting last year for beau Saif Ali Khan, this year Kareena Kapoor skipped Karva Chauth. She explained, "I am shooting and it's difficult to fast while working. Maybe I will keep karva chauth after seven years."

But i'm single!
Katrina Kaif: Although other ladies from the Khan family (Seema Khan) stayed without eating all day, Katrina Kaif did not observe the fast. She asks "For what? I am not married."


Mera doosra!
Ameesha Patel: Second year in the row, she prayed for the long life and good health of beau Kanav Puri.

In transit, must eat!
Deepika Padukone: Ranbir Kapoor's mom Neetu Singh follows the karva chauth tradition but Deepika refrained from fasting as she's travelling for work.

Deol all
The Deol wives: For Sunny and Bobby Deol's wives Puja and Tanya it was a family affair and they fasted with their mother-in-law, Prakash and tons of relatives who come to their homes for this occasion every year.

That family feeling
Sridevi: Boney Kapoor says, "Sri has been keeping karva chauth for the last 13 years, ever since we got married. Yesterday evening we went to our parents home in Andheri and celebrated the occasion with dinner there along with my brother Sanjay and his wife Maheep.

On leave
Gauri Khan, wife of Shah Rukh, is not keeping karva chauth, as she is in Rome.

Karva Chhup!
Manayata Dutt: Karva Chauth this year was muted scale. Last year, she had a huge girl gang over and they all broke the fast together. A source close to the couple said, "It was a quiet affair between husband and wife."
