Annikas outfit - Page 4

I thought I was the only one who noticed this. I don't even get why she gets so decked out during the functions, like yes look presentable and a little above your normal wear but to look like you're attending a close family member's wedding functions - is absurd. I feel like it will take away from when she does get married to Shivaay - then it will make sense for her to dress extravagantly.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The fact that we are all modern, educated women discussing and analysing if the clothes of a female character were 'appropriate' or not is completely audacious.

It's quite simple. Annika can wear what she wants to wear. She can decide to turn up to Shivaay's wedding in a crop top and a skirt and still that would be fine. While I understand that she must have some professional attire to maintain the decorum of her working enivironmemt, in this case it's a moot point. Because the Oberoi's don't treat her as an employee. She has full permission to interfere in their day to day lives, to check up on Om, to ask Shivaay to break up with Tia. None of these are actions that any professional employee would even think about doing. So no, I don't think that there was anything wrong with her dress or how she carried it. If Surbhi had a problem, she would have let her dress department know it.

If anything, she looked extremely hot yesterday.

Peace out.

I don't think there's anything regressive about covering up when you're surrounded by elders and family. It's not that she is should not be able to wear what she wants, it's a matter of time and place. Also, not like this was a party, she is literally at work, and it is Diwali - a religious holiday. Also, what does Annika's relationship with the Oberoi family have to do with her wearing more modest clothing around them? Personally, I am very comfortable with my entire family - immediate and extended but you will never see me showing my stomach or cleavage in front of them. Also, revealing and inappropriate aside if the outfit actually looked good, it would be passable, but it was downright just ugly.

No, there is nothing regressive about covering up in the presence of your elders. Or even if it's just you and that's what you prefer. What is regressive is the fact that you impose your thoughts and views on others, expecting them to behave according to our morals. You say you wouldn't show your stomach or cleavage infront of your family. That is completely okay. That is you behaving in accordance to your values and principles. But for you to expect that everyone should behave the same way just because you do, that is regressive. Yeh toh moral policing ho gaya, na?

As for your comments about Oberoi mansion being her work place, I have already explained that in my previous comments. We can't choose when she must behave like an employee and when she can forget that she works there. Her while work ethic is a slap to professionalism. But hey, the Oberoi's don't mind.

P.S. Regarding the dress, I think it'll be subjective. Fashion always is. I think she looked really pretty, you thought it wasn't even passable. That's fine. Let's agree to disagree.

Keeping everything else completely aside...

I'm kinda confused at the 'walk' part? Cause I think Surbhi carried the dress really well and looked beautiful and graceful too.

But yes, I did feel there should have been a dupatta, a net one or such. Nothing to do with the revealing or the appropriateness - just what my fashion sense says. Not a fan of the outfit either. Entirely subjective of course.

I don't think there was any wrong wid Anika's dress. It hardly showed any cleavage. It's common trend now of churidhar without dupatta or lehenga without dupatta. What Anika wore was Indo-western cloth of crop-top n ethnic skirt which is in fashion nowadays. Don't women wearing show midriff? I can't understand why clothes is given much importance like doing moral policing. Whatever show I watch there r at least some expressing displeasure whenever d heroine does any fashion or show some skin. I saw such talks n arguments in at least 3-4 forums be it Zoya, Mahira, Roshni, Angoori, Mahi n now Anika. Anika is an employee but she is at an ethnic function so she won't wear jeans or formal skirts. What Anika wore is a trend for traditional parties. As for middle-class thing, I found it offensive I am also 4m middle-class but I wear more fashionable clothes than Anika. More than half of India r middle-class does not means they don't wear fashionable clothes. Talking any d clothes being affordable to her or not, we get such clothes easily on sites like Flipkart, Amazon, Craftsvilla at low prices was high, less or no discounts. Also, more than 50-60% women in India r not slim. So, ways d issue of Anika wearing so n so clothes to do with her body? I am not slim but still I hardly wear Indian clothes. Isn't it body-shaming to point on how bulky one is or how one walks? No girl walks like a model 24/7. Saumya is so plump but she too wears fashionable n short clothes. Fashion has nothing to do with class of a person. I don't see any logic of Anika using dupatta just cuz Shivaay is lukn at her as if he will eat her. It's demeaning Shivaay n even Anika too as if she will give him a reason to stare at her wrongly due to her clothes. Anika lives in Mumbai not Haryana or Jammu-Kashmir so she will wear wat is in d trend. Why we r bothered any her clothes if neither Anika not anyone else in d show has any problem wid it? Priyanka prefers to wear simple clothes as it's her choice. Same way Anika wearing fashionable clothes is her choice.
