Who have bared it all in Bollywood? - Page 6

Here in Kerala ,there was this movement called Achippudava samaram in the late 19th century. It was basically a resistance movement against the dress code when allowed only savarna women to cover their breasts. A group of women from the Ezhava caste decided to wear that plain white mundu with the golden border ( like what Priety Zinta wears in The Last Lear) the way Nair women wore them. There's another version which says a woman was stopped and abused in a market place for covering her breasts and that resulted in the movement. Anyway they fought for their right to cover up.

Kareena looked really pretty in those clothes from Ashoka :D. There must have been DIY bras back then. Or some kind of padding. Again ,it wasn't a question of how revealing the clothes were. There was gender based segregation so women didn't usually appear in 'public ' much and even when they did they used stoles and chador like things . Class and caste matter there though, only upper class women could afford to be that territorial. Yes Invasions must have made it more rigid.

Most women who say Western clothes are inappropriate walk around showing their bellies all the way down to the trail, in their sarees. The saree can be pretty vulgar if you don't know how to wear it to suit your body type.

Generalizing is something only people who have never been anywhere do. Cause NOT all western clothes are revealing either and in some cultures it used to be severely frowned upon if women wore pants or revealed much, in fact girdles were worn so that nothing giggled when women walked....(elements of torture).

Of course that was all before "globalization" and world mentality change, now only the most extreme groups like the Amish, really cover anything up, the rest is left up to the individuals.

She needed a bib during that scene.

Heard that the guy Anubrata (who plays Gandu) went into depression after filming the movie.

All you write is quite honest and right on. I know a lot of "westerners" who were in total shock the first time they saw women in sarees. That showed a lot and I remember the comments too "OMG they cover their face but show everything else" lol. I also know of Europeans in our family getting arrested years ago (I was a kid-and all of it was entertaining as heck to me) in a CA beach because they took their top off and CA is pretty crazy but total nudity in public beaches was not allowed and they did not know...go figure!

True. Ignorance and the need to find an excuse to think they're better than others ,even if it doesn't always make sense. Happens ,both ways . There are 'progressive 'people in India who believe there's no catcalling or prudery in the West whatsoever because it they haven't seen in it their favourite sitcoms lol.

That must have been hilarious ,your European relatives at the beach. In most temples here, men are supposed to take their shirts off before entering. Some guys walk around with giant intimidating moobs. Too bad Californian law doesn't apply to them 🤣.

The runaways from the Amish have strange stories to tell don't they? Abuse and manipulation. They look interesting from the outside anyway...with the carriages and picnic baskets.

He did bit roles in movies such as Madly Bangalee, Maach, Mishti and More. But didn't become a big name. You can read his interview here:

I am sure there must be the odd misbehaving pricks, people are people no matter where. But do not believe the conspiracy theories they are inflated for the reality shows, most Amish are happy with their lives and for the most part they are transparent and quite open, yes it is not for everyone and the young will always be curious, some go out in the world but in the end return home because they know they have a pretty special thing going on, they are not a sect but an actual group who practice their religion and life style while bothering no one. They are interesting and very patriotic too, so their elders keep informed of the outside world, during elections for example you see thousands of their carriages on the road to go vote, ( the USA gov. does not make it easy for them). Wanting to interfere and change people and how they choose to live.

Also : They make the best cheese/dairy/bread products so it is not unheard of to travel far or from other states at least during November/December to go to their Amish set up when they bring their products to the open market, to use in special holiday baking and such.
