Mehandi is a type of body art made out of henna leaves and was first discovered in ancient India and since then has been used as a tradition in weddings and marital saga. No wedding is complete without mehandi. Name a bride who didn’t have mehandi on her hands on her special day. You won’t be able to.

Not even actresses’ ordinary people like us consider applying mehandi on their D-day as a good luck or “shagun”.
