Amma-tter of modesty

Small clothes create a big problem for Jaanki Amma in Jab Love Hua.

Rameshwari's modest look in Jab Love Hua
Rameshwari aka Jaanki Amma recently had to shield her modesty while shooting for Jab Love Hua. Amma was not amused when she was asked to wear revealing clothes on screen. Obviously, the idea of her preening in skimpy, itsy-bitsy shockers was hardly befitting to her character.

According to a production house source, "The story takes a turn where the protagonist Raghu is getting married in Mumbai and his family comes to the city for the marriage. So, the production house wanted Rameshwari (who plays Raghu's mother) to become the Mumbai mem and wear skimpy outfits. Rameshwari was offended and refused to wear the outfits. Then, a heated argument followed."

Rameshwari confirmed the news of the fireworks on the sets. She says, "I was really put off by the way they were giving instructions. They did not even bother to ask me and I certainly did not like it. In fact, their demands were almost threatening."

"We were given a few backless modern outfits, which I found very obscene, both for my age and character. I don't have a problem in wearing simple western outfits as I wear them off-screen. But, those skimpy clothes were too much! Moreover, they didn't seem clued in to the fact that they are killing the essence of the show. The serial is based on rural life and we all have only worn 'decent' Indian costumes so far. I finally settled for a regular western gown that suited my age and character," Rameshwari adds.

The senior actress tones down her outspokenness by adding, "I have got a good feedback for my role in Jab… Apart from these small problems, things are almost fine."

It would be funny if dadi wears such type of clothes but that impossible..

I think Rameshwari put forward a good example of showing that nobody can force you to wear such type of clothes unless you want to
