Its not that. Its just that these celebs represent our country to some extent and I wished , if only, they wore these dresses offscreen also. The dupatta excuse is actually not convincing. You can wear Indian without a dupatta also. My teachers work for 8 hours everyday and ALL of them wear saris and suits. I think the dupatta is just an excuse for people who dont want to wear salwar kameez because its not cool.
@Hindi, I agree. And also other languages. Some INDIAN friends of mine actually call Malayalis junglees and uncool because of their language. I want people to change the way they think.
Wearing a jeans and top may make you look good (same for salwar) but it doesn't make you modern or 'cool' (I hate these terms).
Well I think its a lot about comfort.. for the celebs too and a way to differentiate from their onscreen too
they wear Indian clothes throughout the day whwn onscreen
so offscreen they tend to avoid it. btw this is speculation on my behalf and i may be grossly wrong
Salwar kameez without dupaata is kinda like kurta legging which may do wear even in cities albeit more comfortable.
Its a lot to do with the workplace environment too. most teachers wear salwar and sarees, its formal clothes in corporate offices, trendy stuff (which has for some reason been translated to western wear) for people in entertainment industry.
@language: I think people have begun to generalise a lot from language. like u said Malayalis being called junglees (thankfully I havent come across that) and gujratis being called something else and marathis something else.
it is not necessarily true but that how it has come to be 😕
well I am speaking for myself here, wearing jeans has nothing to do with trying to look modern but comfort for me
