Watch: Husband Fasts for Beautician Wife on Karwa Chauth, Comes to Pick Her Up Despite Injury, Internet Says ‘Couple Goals!’
Festivals often bring out the most beautiful sides of love, care, and devotion, and this Karwa Chauth was no different. A simple yet touching moment between a husband and wife went viral online, showing that love isn’t about grand gestures but about being there for one another, even in small ways.
Karwa Chauth is one of India’s most special festivals, where married women keep a nirjala vrat, a fast without food or water, from sunrise to moonrise for their husbands’ long life and happiness. While it’s usually observed by women, some husbands also take part to show their love and support.

This year, a video captured one such heartwarming story. It showed a husband who, despite being injured, made sure to pick up his wife after work—and even joined her in keeping the fast. The video quickly spread across social media, melting hearts everywhere.
The moment took place when a beautician visited a client’s home to help her get ready for Karwa Chauth. After finishing her work, she was about to leave when her husband arrived to pick her up. The client, who filmed the moment, shared the story warmly.
“Aaj Karwa Chauth hai, and maine inhe Yes Madam se bulaya hai ghar par tayar hone ke liye,” the client said, introducing the beautician. Then, turning the camera toward the door, she added, “Ye inke husband hai. Hath mein lagi hui hai, but inko fir bhi pick karne aaye hai.”
Even with an injured hand, the husband had come to take his wife home. The gesture alone was touching, but what came next made the moment even more special.
When the client offered the husband water or a drink, the beautician revealed something that surprised everyone, her husband was fasting too. He had chosen to observe the Karwa Chauth fast alongside her, despite his injury and a long day.
The client’s joyful reaction said it all: “Aapka fast hai? Aree waah, kamaal kar diya.” The video captured the exact moment, showing the couple’s quiet bond and understanding—something that many people online called “true love in small acts.”
Internet Falls in Love With the Couple
Soon after the clip was shared online, it spread quickly across social media platforms. Viewers filled the comments section with love and admiration for the couple. Many said that in a world where relationships are often tested by time and distance, this video was a refreshing reminder of what real care looks like.
The couple’s story stood out not because it was grand or glamorous, but because it showed the power of small gestures, a husband fasting with his wife, showing up for her even when hurt, and quietly expressing love without words.
Karwa Chauth
Karwa Chauth, also known as Karak Chaturthi, holds deep meaning for married couples across India. It falls on the Krishna Paksha Chaturthi in the month of Kartik and is especially celebrated in northern states. In 2025, the festival was observed on Friday, October 10, with women fasting all day and performing evening prayers before breaking their fast after sighting the moon.
