Sonam Kapoor To Vidya Balan, Married Bollywood Actresses Who Love To Flaunt Sindoor

Ek chutki sindoor ki keemat tum kya jaano Ramesh babu, Ek suhagan ke sar ka taj hota hai ek chutki sindoor- this is one of the famous dialogue from the movie, Om Shanti Om. Well, sindoor is considered to be a mark of married women. Indian woman considers sindoor as sentiment and tradition. They fill their foreheads with beautiful sindoor every day.

All the rituals performed during the marriage ceremonies have their own significance. One such tradition is the application of sindoor on the forehead by married women. It has been a part of the tradition since centuries. It is one of the solah shringars that a married woman is supposed to wear. The sindoor is applied with the hope that it will increase the life of the husband.
