Prakriti Kakar's First Karwa Chauth Fast: A Mix of Excitement and Nerves
29 Oct
Summary
- Singer Prakriti Kakar will celebrate her first Karwa Chauth after marriage.
- She is excited to fast and perform puja for her husband this year.
- Prakriti plans to wear a red outfit and gold jewelry for the occasion.
Singer Prakriti Kakar is preparing to observe her first Karwa Chauth after marrying entrepreneur Vinay Anand in January. Motivated by her Punjabi heritage, she feels compelled to undertake the fast, even though her husband, who has Sindhi and South Indian roots, did not expect it. This marks her first time fasting and performing the associated puja for her husband post-wedding.
Kakar plans to celebrate the festival by wearing a red outfit complemented by gold jewelry, a choice signifying romance and tradition. She noted that she did not wear red for her wedding but feels it is an ideal color for Karwa Chauth, reminiscent of how her mother used to dress. This year's observance feels like carrying forward a cherished family tradition, especially as her mother has been unable to fast in recent years due to health issues.
Admitting to some apprehension, Kakar expressed nervousness about fasting for an entire day without food or water, as she has never done so before. Despite this, her excitement outweighs her worries, and she is looking forward to the experience. The couple plans to break their fast together with a traditional meal of sarson ka saag and makki di roti.
