One of the most romantic festivals celebrated by Hindus all around the world, Karwa Chauth is a day-long fast observed by married women for the good luck and long life of their husbands. The day is celebrated four days after purnima (a full moon) in the month of Kartika. On this day, women observe fast, and finally drinks or eat anything after sighting the moon. This year, Karwa Chauth will be celebrated on October 17, Thursday.
Like any other festival, Bollywood has glorified the importance of Karwa Chauth too, through the movies. While some of these movies showed the beloved observing a fast for their lovers, others tried to show how people travel distances to celebrate the festival together. Here are 5 Bollywood movies, which will give you a taste of how B-town celebrates the festival.
