I hope next time you carefully write 'many/most/some indian' instead of putting all in one category.

My dear, I do not appreciate the rude undertone of your post. This being a public forum, please maintain forum decorum.

At no point, I said Indian audience is stupid. If I said that I am calling myself such. Besides, I am not a Caucasian to get confused by Sikhs and TAliban. Btw, the reason a Caucasian get confused is very similar to the thought process in my post or rather the lack of knowledge (btw, are you saying or implying that Caucasian are stupid and not misinformed??).

In a nutshell - if a person never lived in the West - he/she will never know why or when a boot is worn, or what is 'in', nor I believe is that Cvs care about such minute details. To most general audience, Samira with that short dress and boot was "western' enough. The current fashion trend need not be followed by the Cvs to get that point across - nor the Indian audience needs to google Western fashion trends right after they watch the serial to follow the storyline and what is being implied in the process - and to me, that was the purpose of the change (even if that trend isn't necessarily up to date) and Cvs have succeeded in it all right - Please do not jump to conclusion and refrain from bashing others. Thanks,

The fashion still has to make sense. Boots are used for cold weather. In your post, you seem to be implying that people in India do not know when or how to use a pair of boots? This is the same country producing doctors and engineers??? If this was the 80s or 90s..I would understand..but in an age of social media and the internet ...plus western images and shows being watched by young girls everywhere...I find that logic hard to swallow!!

And Samaira is not in a village where people are illiterate... she is a city girl ...living in Mumbai ...as a celebrity ! At least the CV can be true to her character and dress her properly. Or all girls wearing snow boots in 35C weather in Mumbai ?

And they want to follow a fashion trend that university and teens are wearing on a 20 something woman and mom? If they want to make Samaira look "western" they can make it age appropriate at least.

Also, in case you may not be aware, girls look to Indian tv shows for fashion trends in terms of what the heroines are wearing..so much so that stores actually offer character looks aka "saree's worn by Toasty in Saas Bina Sasural etc"... so yes girls/women are googling fashion trends based on tv shows.

Let's just stick to Samaira's style mishap and not bring up racial tensions around the world.

this member actually reminds of NRIs who think they are high class citizens who think all 'desis' are ignorant fools and know nothing about the world.

or those aspirants who are stuck in India and for them the west is an utopia and India is full of people with no brains.

I hate when any race or country is labelled as, ye sab aise hi hote hain.

Innocent Muslims suffer bcoz of this very attitude and the foolishness of some morons.

Please carry on bashing with you posts...glad you have someone to bash by bringing in all sorts of things racial, religious, regional and more...Enjoy!!

Boots are just a big no no in a city like Mumbai or Delhi. And nothing will justify her wearing it. Having limited budget for Samaira's clothes actually makes no sense to me. She's not wearing anything designer. This is not the 90s anymore.

If the cvs are trying to convey that she's a foreigner then she SHOULD look like a foreigner. Doing it half-way and assuming Indians don't know better is actually dumb.

Just like having bloopers in storylines and Indians are smart enough to catch onto them, this is the same.

What I dont get is if she is working for a big company like the Jag's...would they not sponsor her outfits ..makeup..clothes etc...especially when she does appearances for them? I would think companies do those types of things for the "face" of their company! Feel like this is a BIG Blooper on the part of the CV and not thinking things thru

I saw a preview of tmw's epi and her hair looked really bad and again the outfit was tacky

Ash is such a cute and pretty girl and the CV / make up team are hell bent on making her look as bad as possible!

The only person who looks sharp is Aditya but I feel like he is wearing the same suit all the time?!

This is a limited run show so its not like they need to stretch their budget for years and years of saas bahu blinged up sari's!
