Deepika Padukone
Well, this diva needs no introduction. We can never get over the most gorgeous #DeepVeer wedding and likewise is her Mangalsutra. It adds to the simplicity and effortless beauty she is. Her mangalsutra is a simple black and gold beaded necklace with a 20 lakh worth piece of round solitaire pendant studded in gold.
Sonam Kapoor
The fashion icon of Bollywood, Sonam Kapoor’s modern mangalsutra design is no less. It is known that she has designed her mangalsutra herself. It has Anand Ahuja’s and her zodiac signs on it and a solitaire stud in the middle. As pretty as it looks, it symbolizes the binding of both the partners together for lifetime.
Sagarika Ghatge
Sagarika Ghatge married Indian cricket player Zaheer Khan and how pretty! She is the most stunning and perfect bride. Though the wedding was a fairly private and intimate affair, her looks made it sensational. You won’t be wrong to think that I am pretty much biased for her. How can you not be? She is so arresting. Speaking of her mangalsutra, it has small and big diamonds in a V-shaped pendant design. Elegant, right?

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wears a classic styled long beaded mangalsutra with big diamonds in the middle. It was net worth Rs. 40 lakhs and we are not surprised at all. However, unlike all the big time showbiz weddings and receptions in Bollywood, Aishwarya and Abhishek tied the knot secretly. Of course, there was a big-time wedding ceremony too later on. But the very first appearance of her just after the secret ceremony, Aishwarya looked serene and simple in a kanjivaram saree with just her mangalsutra. Absolutely pure!
Shilpa Shetty
The prettiest Shilpa Shetty has become even more beautiful after marrying Raj Kundra. Her mangalsutra is a plain black and gold beaded with drops of diamonds in the middle. The cost of her mangalsutra is Rs. 30 lakhs. She has truly defined ‘modern mangalsutra’ by wearing a bracelet of her mangalsutra. Something you can wear with your formals even. Doesn’t it look cool?
Anushka Sharma
Anushka’s Wedding created a storm on the internet. So is her mangalsutra. Costing a total of Rs. 52 lakhs (yeeaah!), its a black beaded long piece with lots of diamonds. Shining just like her.
Priyanka Chopra
Last but definitely not the least. One of the most extravagant and talked about weddings of last year was Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ wedding. Her wedding was all about details. If you are updated with it, you must already know that Priyanka had a special eye for details in her wedding ensembles. Even her mangalsutra. Its a modern mangalsutra design with the traditional black and gold beads, but only at the front lines of the chain. The rest of the mangalsutra is a gold chain with pear-shaped diamond rock in the middle. It sure is unique… like herself.
