Anika - Too sophisticated for her part!! - Page 2

I partially agree with your post. Anika's English diction is as good as Shivay, I don't think a person who understands moderate English and can't follow up a bit faster phase of spoken English, has such diction. But somehow this flaw gets masked by her mispronounciation with desi accent. Regarding the wardrobe, I don't find them non-middle class, I feel the costume is perfect for a Mumbai urban-poor where you get plenty of imitation stuffs of designer clothes, jewelleries, footwears etc. Anika's wedding planning explains her stylish(I don't find most of them stylish) outfits, like how she bought cheaper stuffs with the quality similar to branded stuff like that table cloth etc. Her styling is apt for Mumbai's urban poor considering she works and earns. She has a scooty too. Generally middle class people can afford such things with a lot of jugaad. Being brought up in a middle class I can vouch for it, nobody can do jugaad better than a middle class Indian 😆

Have you ever been to Mumbai or Goa?

I agree with you Amrita.

Nowadays buying brands is not a big deal and its no more only for upper class...there are copies of big brands easily available and there are affordable brands too available easily...plus Anika being from Mumbai such clothes and fashion is easily available on streets of these Metro cities so I find her wardrobe much in sync with her social status...I just wonder why doesn't she buy another pair of chappals though

i don't mind anika wearing such clothes😆.bcoz i m tired of heroines wearing shalwar kameez,and curtain like clothes

I actually find Annika's clothing pretty apt.. they are not at all stylish, like the frill tops, loose blouses etc. They are definitely not really in sync with today's urban fashion. Her clothes look 'street-shopped' and given the fact that she had a catering business earlier, it does seem believable that she could afford at least that much. Plus let's not forget she went to the same college as Priyanka Singh Oberoi.😆 I think that's the idea. She does understand simple English, I would assume.

Personally, I think Annika's styling needs some work. I feel some looks are absolute disasters. But then again, it works with her character and her goofy nature. She looked lovely in the white churidaar in the rain.

I don't think her styling is sophisticated. Sophisticated style would be Tia's & some of rudra's gfs😆.
Priyanka has a much better style too eventhough she only wears Indian, but her style is rich, classy and elegant.

Annika wears modern clothes yes but they are never really out-and-out stylish. They look very normal, at least, in my opinion. And in terms of perfect hair & makeup all the time, it's Indian television. 😆 Suspension of disbelief toh banta hain !!😳

Amongst all the girls, I love Ishaana's styling the most - her bangles, earrings, anarkali, dupatta. They look beautiful.

I agree..may be it's the channel...because I once saw an episode of DABH and the house in the show looked kind of too sophisticated,tasteful and rich keeping in mind the characters,their economic status and the city they lived in...now I don't mean to say that nobody belonging to middle class income group can have good,classy taste..it is perfectly believable that anika has good fashion sense(though personally i haven't liked all her tops) but the thing is her clothes seem kind of expensive too..not just fashionably tasteful..and yup it's the always and perfectly set hair too..

IMO the creatives and channel should care more about giving realistic look to lead characters..like khushi and sanam before marriage(khushi toh had ghastly stuff even after marriage)

Welcome! Me too an Annika fan. 😳

Well my opinion slightly differed from yours. I don't think she looks sophisticated. I think she looks middle class. Though I am not an Indian and have never been to India, so I have no idea what kinda clothes middle class girls wear but IMO Annika's style is indowestern and I think middle class girls nowadays do wear those kinda clothes and I asked some of my Indian friends here about this and they agree. I don't think clothing has anything to do with fluency in English...Annika I think didn't complete formal education due to lack of money which made her start working. Hence this probably explains her lack of fluency in English. Re. her diction, I think in primary school they teach students proper English diction na? So it probably comes from there...

I too was thinking the same.

Her outfits, accessories ans style actually do contradict her middle-class status assumption.

But then I think that could be the requirement of he channel and viewers. If we overlook that it's a good show. At least so far.
