Keerthy Suresh Explains the Sacred Thread She Wore for Baby John Promotions
South Indian star Keerthy Suresh recently made headlines not only for her outstanding performance opposite Varun Dhawan in Baby John but also for the eye-catching sacred yellow thread she wore during the movie’s promotions. Fans noticed that instead of a traditional wedding mangalsutra, Keerthy had chosen to wear the sacred thread at every promotional event. In a candid interview, the actress revealed the significance behind her choice and shed light on her beautiful wedding to Antony Thattil.
Keerthy Suresh on the Sacred Yellow Thread
In an interview with Galatta India, Keerthy shared that the sacred thread holds immense traditional value and is not supposed to be removed until a specific date. She explained:
“There’s a reason behind why I am wearing it to every promotion because we are not supposed to remove the sacred thread. You are not supposed to remove it until a certain date, so basically, you change it to a gold chain after a few days. But I don’t think we found an auspicious date, and the date is towards the end of January.”
Keerthy further elaborated on how the thread is considered sacred and powerful, with its placement carefully chosen so it does not touch her chest. She mentioned that once the thread is replaced with a gold chain, the appearance will become more traditional and subtle.
