Chhath Puja 2024: Bigg Boss OTT fame Manisha Rani trolled for performing Chhath rituals
Manisha Rani's photoshoot celebrating Chhath Puja has led to major backlash. The Bigg Boss OTT 2 star posted pictures of herself dressed as a bride with sindoor, despite not being married. Fans are slamming her for disrespecting the festival¡¯s sacred traditions, as Chhath Puja is typically only observed by married women.
Manisha Rani, the Bigg Boss OTT 2 sensation, is back in the spotlight¡ªbut this time, it¡¯s not for her wild antics on reality TV. Instead, it¡¯s her ¡°I¡¯m ready for Chhath Puja" photoshoot that has the internet buzzing. Yes, you read that right¡ªChhath Puja. But here¡¯s the catch: Manisha¡¯s not married, and yet, she¡¯s rocking sindoor like it¡¯s her daily accessory. And of course, the internet had opinions.

In a series of stunning Instagram pictures, Manisha, dressed in a gorgeous sari with a nose ring and a maang tikka, holding a soup full of prasads, and celebrating Chhath Puja. Her caption screams love for the tradition, ¡°Chhath Puja is the love of us Biharis. Happy Chhath to all.¡± Cute, right? Well, not for everyone.

The comments are divided. Some people are ¡°obsessed¡± with her beauty, showering her with praise like ¡°May Chhathi Maiya fulfill all your wishes,¡± while others are not holding back. ¡°Are you married though?¡± they ask, raising an eyebrow at the sindoor situation. Because, if we¡¯re keeping a note of everything, Chhath Puja is a festival for married women. So, people are basically dragging her for ¡®mocking¡¯ the festival and being all kinds of disrespectful, especially with that sindoor game.
Is this a photo-op gone wrong or a genuine religious gesture? Some are buying it as a photoshoot for Day 3 of Chhath (aka Sandhya Arghya, when people worship the setting sun), which Manisha posted yesterday. But still¡ªwhere¡¯s the respect for tradition? Is this just another stunt for clout, or is she really embracing the culture? You decide.
