You don't think making them wear deep plunging necklines disrespects their body? The costume dept is deliberately making them display their body. In no way do their necklines define a character or their character progression. It's quite unnecessary IMO. An actors job is to mold themselves to their character, to act and understand it. Not to agree to wear anything (especially revealing clothes) just because its their job and the prod team asks them to. This is how females get sexually assaulted in this industry(I work in this industry, believe me when I say I know what I am talking about). If the prod team wants more viewers, they will go to costume dept and say, give these and these characters deep neckline, these ones tighter and sexier clothes.

The actors chose this career as their job, it doesnot mean they have to reveal their body or that the prod company can make them wear anything they want to. They don't have to be prepared to comply to anything. If the director tells an actress to run naked in a scene suddenly should she do that? These plunging necklines are not helping the story one bit. Why make them wear it? How is Pia's, Mo's, Ruby's and even the female siblings of Ansh's neckline helping the story? What is their purpose?

Experienced actors and actresses have a say on their clothes but the actors in this show are fairly new. It means they have no choice but to do what the prod team tell them to do and wear.

All I'm trying to say is, if it was Niyati's wedding and she chose to wear this dress, would you criticise it? No? Bcz it was her choice and she wore the dress of her own free will.

This is Pia's wedding. Why can't she be thought to wear this dress willingly? (wo alag baat hai ki shaadi hi willingly nahi kar rahi to dress kya willingly pehnegi... jo bhi use diya jayega utha ke pehen legi) Bcz you're not seeing her as a character anymore, you're just seeing Niyati's body involved in it.

I feel a body is disrespected when it is forced to wear something against the person's wishes. The intentions of the creative heads may be right or wrong, but what matters is the actor's consent to it. As long as she is willing, I see no disrespect being done to her body.

Honestly, the only necklines that I've felt were deep in the show so far were Mo's... and her being a daayan who tends to gets shamelessly flirtatious at times, I see those costumes as being quite in character. h

@bold: You are assuming the worst case scenario of "compliance", don't you think? Do you not believe that there should be an inherent tuning and understanding b/w the actor and her creative heads about what they think of her character and what they intend to do with it? Ofc an actor should be prepared to comply... she is bringing someone else's vision to life, she has to see eye to eye with the heads. I definitely would not support a scenario like the one you mentioned if it had nothing to do with the character or plot - and I'm sure Niyati wouldn't, either. This is a simple case of a costume - if she's wearing it, she's said yes to it. In fact, if the IV was anything to go by, she even seemed pretty happy with it. So again, I see no body-disrespecting here.

@slippery_chilka , not just Niyati , even Sonya is NOT comfortable with the dresses she's been given as Ruby at times , in many of her IG pics , post wedding looks , you can see her hiding her exposed midriff and almost NEVER any back view since the cholis are not doing good job of covering her back.

Let's not play Devil's advocate and admit it clearly and honestly that PH is using the beautiful bodies of the all the 4 younger actresses , even including Monalisa to make it 5 , to seduce the viewers or some thing , but honestly speaking , it makes me very uncomfortable while watching it with my mother . Once in a while all the Telly actresses are seen as wearing dare to bare less-clothes-more-skin clothes in all the shows , but it's good as long it's once in a while and not when it becomes daily affair. In that case , it's a red signal that some thing is wrong.

I've the same complaint against the PH in their another show at SP , where all the 3 leads especially the main one is made to wear very bold dresses very often .

I remember once Surbhi was so uncomfortable in a certain off shoulder gothic type dress that it was painfully visible , though of course she'd to take it in her stride and even had to praise the dress and the designer who's also the friend of Gul Khan.

So of course even if Niyati or Sonya or Pallavi feels uncomfortable or squirmy in a dress they'll have to just bite back their words and go on .

Only Ritu ji and Chaitali , they're properly dressed , thank God.

It makes me feel bad because the actresses could've been easily spared from this discomfiture.
