Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Kapoor took to social media to pay tribute to their respective spouses on the occasion of Karva Chauth. Big B shared a beautiful throwback black and white photo of Jaya Bachchan on Twitter. “The better half!!! Quite obviously the other half is irrelevant and therefore unseen,” he quipped referring to the fact that he had been cropped out of the frame.
One Twitter user empathised with Big B saying that they knew how it feels when one partner is a foot shorter than the other.
Anil Kapoor also had a funny take on Karva Chauth. He shared a video of himself running on a track and captioned it, “All your love, prayers and fasting is making me run faster & keeping me healthy today and everyday! Happy karva chauth @kapoor.sunita,” he wrote.
While Sunita Kapoor responded with several kissing emojis, several others such as Varun Dhawan, Anand Ahuja and Shilpa Shetty were in awe of Anil’s fitness routine. Farhan Akhtar commented, “Awesome. Pure determination.” Farah Khan joked, “Your fast is faster than Sunita’s fast also.”
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas; Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh; Kapil Sharma and Ginni Chatrath; Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal and Shloka Mehta and Akash Ambani are among celebrity couples who will be celebrating their first Karva Chauth this year.
On the work front, Big B will be seen opposite Emraan Hashmi in Rumi Jaffery’s Chehre, with Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra and opposite Ayushmann Khurrana in Shoojit Sircar’s Gulabo Sitabo. Anil Kapoor is part of the ensemble cast of Takht, a period film being directed by Karan Johar.
