Sarees, Starlight And Sargi: Bollywood’s Glam Queens Shine Bright at Anil Kapoor’s Karwa Chauth Bash

When tradition meets tinsel town, you know it’s going to be a spectacle—and last evening at Anil and Sunita Kapoor’s Juhu residence was nothing short of magical. With the moon playing hard to get and love lighting up every corner, Bollywood’s leading ladies turned up in their ethnic best for one of the industry’s most cherished annual traditions: the grand Karwa Chauth celebration at the Kapoors' home.

Draped in regal reds, glimmering golds, and heirloom-worthy silks, stars like Shilpa Shetty, Maheep Kapoor, Bhavna Panday, and Mini Mathur brought grace, glam, and goddess energy to the festivities. This wasn’t just a fast—it was a fashion statement! Mehndi-adorned hands, intricate bindis, and chandbalis that could rival the moon—every detail whispered devotion, both to tradition and to style.

But beyond the glitz, Karwa Chauth remains a deeply spiritual day. Celebrated across North India, the festival is a heartfelt ritual where married women fast from sunrise to moonrise, praying for the health and long lives of their husbands. The fast is no joke—it’s nirjala, meaning no food, no water, just sheer willpower and love (plus, let’s be honest, a tiny bit of moon-watching anxiety). The fast only ends after offering water to the moon—a ritual as poetic as it is powerful.

What makes the Kapoor celebration so beloved by fans isn’t just the star-studded guest list—it’s the emotion. Every year, the Juhu bungalow transforms into a dreamy celebration of tradition, friendship, and womanhood. There’s laughter, shared stories, matching bangles, and yes, lots of selfies under the stars.

One thing’s for sure: while Karwa Chauth is rooted in centuries of customs, Bollywood knows exactly how to give it that perfect filmy twist—sparkle, soul, and a little bit of sargi magic.
