Why do they go overboard with the Kanjeevaram Saree talk ...It's not like Tamilians wear Kanjeevaram all the time na? ..I'm a Tam myself ..grew up in the North so I could be wrong but I still haven't seen folks in south india always wear kanjeevaram sarees or make such a big deal about it! ..Every time there is a saree reference there is a "kanjeevaram" word thrown in there! ..

i am a south indian . telugu . we wear kanjeevaram for weddings or for traditional functions .
not always .they are very heavy to wear . depending on the type of the party people wear different varieties
like chiffons,nets,crepe,georgette or even salwars .nowdays lehenga types .

Yeah I am Telugu too, and I agree I have seen my mom and aunts wear Kanjeevaram for weddings. But even that is rare nowadays since many people wear semi traditional or traditional sarees with designer blouses. But yes I get upset by how cvs use stereotypes all the time. Excuse but sometimes they are many misconceptions about south indians shown.

I am Telugu too. My mom and aunts used to wear Kanjeevaram sarees for weddings. Now a days they are wearing all defferent types of sarees like Gadwall, Benaral, light weight Pattu, Uppada sarees , work sarees etc.. with designer blouses. Looks like CVs only know about Kanjivaram sarees.
