Sharing pictures of herself on the gram, Sonali wrote, “I have always believed that traditions are what you make of them…to me they are a bridge between the past, present and future. I respect where they came from but never hesitated to give it my own meaning. Karwa Chauth is one such festival…to me, it has always been a celebration of family and friends that are family. A day spent in rituals with the people you love. The fact that I get pampered by my husband is a bonus. It’s a celebration of togetherness and companionship, cementing the love we share with our husbands & the bond between our family and friends.”

She added, “Fun fact…I’m wearing my wedding lehenga from 19 years ago by @manishmalhotra05 and have paired it with this beautiful mangalsutra from @bulgari. Then and now, the worlds can meet, if you just approach it with love.” Sonali chose a coral pink embroidered lehenga set and teamed it with a lavender dupatta adorned with a matching gota border.
