Sonam K Ahuja and Shilpa Shetty did it. Would you?
Wearing a mangalsutra around your neck is apparently passe. Some folks wear it as a bracelet around their wrist.
Shilpa Shetty has been a long-time loyalist of the look. Priyanka Chopra has worn it too.
However, when Sonam K Ahuja tried it out at a recent outing to promote Veere Di Wedding, she was trolled.
While a handful described Sonam's styling choice as 'beautiful' and 'stylish', others felt she was 'disrespecting Indian culture' by wearing a mangalsutra as a wrist accessory.
It may not be a trend for the faint of heart, but the mangalsutra bracelet is already available at jeweller stores.
'This one was especially designed by the bride (@sonamkapoor) herself and executed by us. It has symbols of both their star signs.
