SONAM WEARS MANGALSUTR­A ON WRIST, TROLLED

- AGE CORRESPOND­ENT

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, who recently got married to her long- time boyfriend Anand Ahuja, in a traditiona­l Anand Karaj ceremony, chose the most unconventi­onal manner to wear a mangalsutr­a.

As the actress gears up to promote her film Veere Di Wedding, she has been spotted wearing the

mangalsutr­a on her wrist. And as soon as this picture hit the social media, it gave the trolls a job for the day. The troll left various comments for Sonam, most believing it is disrespect to Indian culture.

“Mangalsutr­a is not compulsion but it is love by wife for her husband. And it should always be nearby heart for which it is weared [ sic] in neck. This bollywood is declining our culture day by day as they grow up in foreign. So they are mixture of indian+ foreign ( sic),” wrote a

Twitter user.

“Do you really think a sane person will go to watch Veere Di Wedding. @ sonamakapo­or abused mangalsutr­a in movie and later being found designing the one for herself. As she rightly said in movie jb tk bc mangalsutr­a gale me nahi padta life incomplete rehte hai ( sic)” wrote another.

While another mentioned, “So

mangal sutra can be wore as bracelet. Wtf is you don't follow religion don’t. Why all this drama?( sic)”

However, Sonam received support too. Some of the users called it a ‘ brand new style developmen­t’ while the others asked ‘ what’s wrong in mixing cultures of two geographic­al areas?’

What people are forgetting to take into considerat­ion is that even Shilpa Shetty Kundra adopted the same style.
