For Indians, the signs that a woman is married, is that she needs to wear a mangalsutra around her neck and vermillion or sindoor on her forehead. Every Hindu woman is expected to wear this post their wedding no matter their culture, state, wealth, etc. Actress Priyanka Chopra who tied the knot with Nick Jonas last year, proved that she is no different!

Immediately after her wedding, PeeCee delved back into work. But since she still had henna on her hands, the actress decided to take the desi route when it came to accessorising with her dressed. 

She opted for a pink dress and her hair was styled into lose curls. In the centre parting of her hair, she wore deep red sindoor and since her dress featured a plunging neckline, her diamond mangalsutra was on full display!

At the second event too, PeeCee donned a sparkly rainbow coloured striped maxi dress which also featured a plunging neckline. This time around too, she didn't hesitate to show off her mangalsutra and sindoor forehead despite her hair being pulled back into a lose bun. 

Not just at events, even while travelling, she puts her mangalsutra on full display. She sported it confidently over her tan ribbed tshirt and pleated skirt while at the airport, making it cool airport style as well! 

Another time that the actress sported her mangalsutra in a more subtle way, was at the celebration of completing her upcoming Bollywood film The Sky Is Pink.
