It is a Hindu festival where the wife prays for her husband's long life and performs rituals throughout the day, notably by fasting. It happened to be the couple's first 'Karwa Chauth', as they had gotten hitched in November last year. On the same note, Chahal shared some of their pictures from the occasion.
