Dhanteras

News India Xtra@newsIndiaxtra

PM Narendra Modi has urged citizens to put their wellbeing first this Dhanteras. He says preventive steps and better daily habits can give families a sturdier footing for the years ahead.

He pointed to Ayurveda, which he said stresses keeping people well rather than only curing sickness. Eating with awareness, practising yoga, sleeping enough and going for health check-ups were among the steps he suggested.

He called caring for loved ones' health the most valuable commitment a family can make, and asked people to use the festival to renew their focus on body and mind.

Alia Bhatt, Ananya Panday, Rasha Thadani, Janhvi Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor and Suhana Khan are all leaning into gold, shimmer and sequins for Dhanteras. Alia wears an all-gold embroidered lehenga with a sheer embellished dupatta, while Suhana chooses a champagne-gold sequined saree with a matching blouse and no jewellery. Ananya pairs a gold-embroidered blouse with a satin skirt and a floor-length sheer cape, and Shanaya goes for an embroidered lehenga with a bright yellow dupatta. The guidance: keep the outfit as the focus and pair heavy embellishment with minimal jewellery.
