There is something magical about an Indian bride. While every bride looks the best on their wedding day, there is still something extra special about the whole Indian bridal avatar (yes, we are partial). The fascination with jewellery to makeup to getting decked up seems to be never-ending, and we certainly cannot blame anyone for it as everything big or small holds a significant place in the collection. Take, for instance, the wedding of Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor. The excitement over her mehndi design is still on, and we cannot stop ourselves from admiring her Kaliras seen in new wedding pictures!

Kalire also spelt as Kalirey are gold embellished ornament attached to bride’s bangle worn during the chooda ceremony ahead of the wedding date. They are symbolic of prosperity and good wishes. Just like any Punjabi bride, Sonam Kapoor wore a gorgeous pair of kalire as a must-follow tradition. We have seen many Indian celebrity brides from Bollywood, and TV like Anushka Sharma, Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya, Amrita Puri and others wear the most iconic kaliras of all time. Here’s a look at photographs of most beautiful kalira designs donned by our lovely actresses.

What is your take on this all-important part of bridal jewellery collection? Chooda and Kalire are not just for beautification purpose but holds a significant place in their married lives. During Sonam's chooda ceremony, she followed the ritual of shaking her kalirey on cousin Jhanvi's head. It is believed if any part of kalire falls on the unmarried girl, she is the next one to get married. However, no such thing occurred in case of Jhanvi Kapoor who is anyway just 21 years of age and looking forward to beginning her Bollywood career with Dhadak releasing in July. So that was all about Sonam Kapoor and other lovely actresses kalirey moments. Let us know in the comments section who looked the most beautiful?
