These Bollywood Brides Are Pulling Off The Traditional #EkChutkiSindoor Bahu Look In Modern Ways
Sindoor is an age-old tradition followed by married women in the Indian culture. Brides wear the auspicious sindoor on their foreheads which has become a permanent spot for placement. Not only is it a sign of showing that the women are married, but it also symbolises female energy and a prayer for their husband's long life.
However, in contemporary times, only old ladies tend to sport this conservative fashion of wearing sindoor. The new generation is almost out of touch with these old-school trends and we can rarely see women carrying the look. But to our surprise, and that too a pleasant one, some of the new Bollywood babes are seen wearing the sindoor bhari maang for events, parties and at weddings.
Most of the actresses are newlyweds and they are totally pulling off the trend in a fashionable form. For them, applying sindoor seems to be a mark of happiness and sign of respect for their dear husbands. It shows a sign of affection, love, protection and passion for the love of your lives. So, if you are wondering how to wear sindoor for special occasions with different hairstyles then keep scrolling to look like the perfect rocker chic bahu-

Taking some inspo for PeeCee, you can also drop your hair down with a middle parting and wear a line of sindoor which is 1-2 inches long. You can pull this trend with both casual and traditional outfits and TBH it looks amazing to death. If you have short hair then this is a must try with a pair of sunnies like PC and you are all ready to slay.
Deepika Padukone
Deepika is the boss lady when it comes to teaching us on how to sport the look with sleek buns and for sure DP is in love with buns. If you are someone who loves to keep her mane in place and don't like your hair down then opt for a low sleek bun. This looks most beautiful with Indian attires and don't forget to pair it with some beautiful jhumkas to complete the diva-licious look.
Kareena Kapoor Khan
Kareena being the odd one out in the list has been married for a while now and following the cultural tradition, she likes to pull off the style like Hindu women on some special occasions. Like her, if you are planning to keep your hair open and swept back then a small dot of sindoor at the beginning of your hairline in the centre would look beautiful.

Looks like poker straight hair with middle parting is the new thing and we must say both the things go well with each other. Anushka has her hair down the same way while she has kept the hair behind the ears. If you are someone who has comparatively straight hair then you can pin your hair back with a few bobby pins and let them stay in place for hours. Isn't that super easy to look fashionable within a few seconds? A small dash of sindoor in the centre will look great.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Ladies who fancy blow-dried hair with a few layers to them have a pretty casual and chic go-to hairstyle. This is the day to day hairstyle of almost all the women and Aishwarya Rai is teaching us exactly how to go about with the sindoor style in this hairstyle. If you also have a big forehead like her then you can apply some sindoor right on the beginning of your hairline, in fact, the border where your head ends and hairline begins is the right place. A small line of sindoor in the downwards direction is all you need to complete it with casual and modern outfits.
