Why is Kumud the only one girl wearing a pretty backless chaniya choli and the other sisters/cousins are wearing ugly suits/chaniyas?

I think they should keep the look consistent.

Kumud needs to convince us that she is Gujarati. She looks a bit uneasy and different from the rest.

Is it not weird how much Kumud cried about the rejection especially when this is a fresh proposal and she's not seen or met the guy?

Some characters need a proper introduction - to help context of story.

Saraswatichandra is a supposedly individualistic and non-material man. However, he needs a number of guards jogging after him on his daily run. He needs top class vehicles just to go outside and think. Does he ever work?

LOL we see backless blouse with sarees every now and then on tv. Then why so much drama over kumud's costumes :S I think she looks pretty and not everyone have to wear same kind of clothes in house. For instance, me and my sister prefer wearing different dresses. our fashions sense is nowhere close, does that make us less realistic?

I don't think I'm criticizing the backless cholis. They are pretty. Kumud's clothes are pretty generally.

But she stands out (very noticeably) as there is no one other person that is dressed like her. This looks a bit odd to me.

Fine - her sisters/cousins don't dress like her. But no one else does either?

When I watch the show it seems like the setting is in a somewhat modern and modest Gujarati village and family setting. Kumud seems to be the only one done up well (or even dressed in a chania choli) for that matter.

If you remember/watched the show Gulaal, the lead actress was amongst the setting and people, not standing differently.

Same with Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. I agree, Aishwarya's chaniya cholis were better, but they all still wore traditional chaniya cholis.

Kumud is the lead..they wanted to give her a distinct look..thats what I think..and I like the costumes the other girls wear..dont think they are ugly.

Kumud needs to convince you that she's gujrati? ok maybe. I am convinced :)

Yes, I think they should have made her cry less in that scene.. I think she was more hurt for her bapu than she was for herself.. still I wanted to see more anger and less tears in that scene.

I don't think SC appreciates being hounded by bodyguards all the time.. I think its his father..they prolly wana convey his constraint life..he seems like someone who has been caged and his emotions are all bottled up..

Well thats his personal car , an SUV.. I dont think Dubai has deserts in the middle of the city..so if he has to go there to find solitude, away from his so called family, then he needs to drive there.. Now he's a rich guy hence he drives an SUV.. when he works?..I think might show that too sometimes..right now they had to get on with Saras Kumud's story..😊

Well - I just hope that they bring more consistency in the show right now. It seems choppy right now.

I don't feel the Gujarati setting either.

Had high expectations from this SLB production.

I don't get it...what you are trying to say...everyone has different dressing styles...just because Kumud dresses fancy doesn't mean her sisters would want to dress just as fancy as her.
I don't dress like my cousins as I have my own style just like that the kinds of chaniya choli's kumud wears her sisters may not like.
Three of them style differently...kumud wears chaniya choli's...kusum wears ghaghras and tops...and kumari likes to wear regular dresses...it shows that they are 3 different individuals

The women that are elderly dress well too...Bua wears silk sari's and what she wore today was stylish and colorful...wears a sari just like a gujurati wears it...with the pallu out in the middle and tucked in the back...same goes for the other ladies...as for the kaki in which i don't think she is has a husband didn't see sindoor...so she is in white but even then her sari's are elegant and classy...
Next are there certain rules that Gujurati people follow to show that they are Guju's? If that is the case then I have failed many times in portraying what I am.😆
Do i have to do certain things to make people feel that I am gujurati?
They named foods that gujus make...she dresses like a guju...she talks like a guju...they use guju dialogues...I didn't find anything that didn't make them look like they aren't guju.
Anywayz, we are all entitled to our opinions...and obviously i respect yours...maybe as the show goes on further they may show more aspects that brings out what you are looking for. Thanks for the discussion topic.

Well I see each girl having a particular style in the show! Kusum wears long skirt style n Kumari chouridar!! N Kumud is the lead!! So she needs to look the best same goes to Saras. His shirts hayee!!
Gujju consistency I really dunno abt that. I'm non Indian 😳
As for Saras working, he was very busy in Dubai n he had to go to LA but came to India! N Sunny went there. Anyway inconsistency does happen from time to time as in every other show!!
