Disha and the art of attire

Disha and the art of attire

Zee's Disha is undergoing a makeover. For those who have been clued in, Disha, who has been weaving her way in and out of slinky see-through sarees, might just get a change of attire.

Although the Tumhari Disha protagonist may not have spawned a fan following a la Ramola Sikand with her choice of clothing, Chhavi Mittal has been rigged out with a wardrobe that boasts a series of transparent sarees with designer blouses to match. Interestingly, when the show's producers, Film Farm, wanted to alter her look, the channel, Zee, insisted that Disha retain her 'netted saree' look as it's apparently a rage in metros like Ahmedabad!

Disha herself is slated to undergo an emotional makeover with her character becoming more a thinking, independent woman, says producer Rupali Guha. "Disha earlier wore trademark short kurtis with embroidery, a look that morphed into the netted saree look when she married into the influential family that runs the Kanaka group of companies. Even her next image change will be commensurate to her mental make-up!" says Rupali.

While on Krutika, who plays Disha's mother in law, the lady's nose ring, a Rabaran type of rural accesory was something Rupali expected to catch on has been obscured by the diamond bindis she sports on her eyelids! Krutika has now been tricked out in sarees with animal prints, while her hair colour too matches the sarees!

Rupali's efforts to popularise jewelry among the menfolk in Tumhari Disha however does not seem to have clicked. DK was made to wear huge black stone pendants to portray his evil self, but somehow, Rupali rues, the effect has been lost in the suits and boots he sports in every episode. !

And for those curious about the twists Disha may take in coming days, Vedant (Sachin) who entered the script recently, will soon have a woman in his life, who will have to take on Dishal.

Stay clued!
