Bollywood wives gathered at Akshay Kumar sister Alka’s salon for a pre-karva chauth bash at Andheri, Mumbai on October 25, 2010. Celebrities and Celeb wives showed up to get mehndi applied on their hands along with a few spa treatments.

Keeps ’ em happy Twinkle has been observing the one- day fast ever since she married Akshay. The Khiladi — loving husband that he is — also fasts the whole day to keep his wife company. Twinkle said, “ I really don’t believe in religious things but karva chauth is a sweet ritual and I follow it because it makes my family happy.” This time however, the star wife might not be able to abstain from food and water all day as she is suffering from an allergy attack and has been advised to take medication and rest.

While Tina runs an interior designing company, Alka runs a beauty spa where she makes people look as beautiful as her.” It was fun! AK’s sister’s bash was called ‘ blast before the fast’. She explained, “ People are generally in a karva chauth and Diwali pre- festive mood so I decided to have a pre- karva chauth event. I decorated my salon Aroma Garden like a small flea market with chudiwala, bindiwalas, paani puri sellers and candles. There are mehndi girls and girls giving head and foot massages, polishing, hair and other stuff which people do for karva chauth. It was fun.”

What is Karva Chauth?

It is a festival in which married Hindu women observe a fast that they believe ensures their husband a long and prosperous life. It is an annual event that provides an opportunity for these married women to get close to their in- laws. Those who observe the fast abstain from food and water the whole day till the moon rises. According to the ritual, the women offer prayers to the moon. They look at the celestial orb through a sieve and then at their husbands through the same sieve.

Their husbands then feed them their first morsel of the day and their first sip of water, so they can break their fast. The women then feast on a specially prepared meal.
