On October 20, she dropped some stunning pics on Instagram, leaving everyone in awe.

ICYMI, Sonakshi and Zaheer tied the knot in a low-key court wedding on June 23, 2024, under the Special Marriage Act. Their marriage did stir some buzz, especially with the whole interfaith aspect, but love won, as always. Sonakshi's dad, the one and only Shatrughan Sinha, shut down all the noise, making it clear that his daughter didn’t need to change her religion. And now, Sonakshi is fully embracing the festive feels, surprising everyone with her full-on participation in the Karwa Chauth rituals.

In her Insta post, Sonakshi dropped two gorgeous pics showing off her Karwa Chauth look, and honestly, it was everything. The red saree, the bold bindi, and that sindoor? Total Lootera vibes. In the caption, she tagged her hubby and wrote, “Praying for your lambi umar, today and everyday #HappyKarwaChauth Mr. Husband @iamzahero.” Of course, fans went wild, flooding her post with love, heart emojis, and compliments like, "This sindoor is making you even more stunning!"

Karwa Chauth is one of those festivals where married women across India fast from sunrise to moonrise for their husband's long life. And while other Bollywood divas like Parineeti Chopra, Shilpa Shetty, and Sonam Kapoor had their own fab celebrations, Sonakshi’s first-ever Karwa Chauth hit differently—an ode to tradition with a dash of modern love.

Sonakshi’s love for red is something else, as this is not the first time she wore red after her marriage. She donned a stunning red saree for their wedding reception, complete with sindoor and all the bridal glam.

The Heeramandi actress was most recently featured in the supernatural comedy film Kakuda, which stars Riteish Deshmukh as Victor, Sonakshi as Indira, and Saqib Saleem as Sunny, with Aasif Khan playing a significant role as Kilvish.
