DIY Bridal Haldi Besan Ubtan Recipe
Who says you can do the haldi besan thing only when you get married?! I was bored yesterday…..and we were planning to go out in the evening to watch Bhag Milkha Bhag (which didn’t happen) but all I wanted w as an excuse to wear a face mask. But I wonder if this pre-wedding ubtan does anything for the Indian brides. I remember my bua whispering into my cousin’s ears on her haldi ceremony “jaldi se jaa ke dho lena warna wo diamond facial kharab ho jaega “. Really? Have haldi ubtans lost their charm?
Also some people argue that the turmeric in it stains their face and make them look too yellow. Well as a little girl I was once preparing this same mask and thought to myself that..if the haldi makes brides glow then I will use thrice the amount and glow three times…khikhi..well my little innocent experiment failed and I ended up with a yellow face and vowed never to use haldi ever!
