I agree with your first point that leads are given a special unique style of their own. That's pretty much how it works in most shows.

But you really do find people in rural villages of India dressed in small backless cholis even today!! Even the grandmothers there are dressed like this. The only difference is that maybe the dupatta is not net material or see-through, not sure about that, but trust me the cholis are really tiny and backless. And it's not like these women are not considered religious or dutyminded. They are actually very religious, but this just happens to be their traditional dress and in those villages no one makes a big deal out of it because it's just considered a normal part of their society. This is not my opinion or something, it's an actual fact (so please don't think I'm making it up to prove a point or something 😆 )

I know the story is not about Jennifer, it's about Kumud. And I wasn't trying to argue either. I was just sharing my knowledge on the way people actually dress in some cultures and villages of India! So please don't mind. 😳

I didnt mind. Thank you for the information on dressing style in rural Gujarat. You may be right. But the whole discussion here is about the character in this epic love story. Thats all about it nothing more. I respect all the views expressed here.

Its not just that, leads will be shown special to get them easily identified in the group of cast. And if you are talking about 500 yrs ago what women wore in Gujarat, i am sure u will not find anymore now in rural and urban india as well.

I meant the clothes should exhibit the character as defined by the author over here. Kumud is a person who is religious, dutyminded, humble and softspoken and the one who stood for the values of society.
This gives the creative director exactly how she should look on the screen. This doesnt mean since it is 2013 age, since Jenny is smart and sexy looking and take short cholis and open backs etc etc. The story is not about Jenny the story is about Kumud.
I hope you understand this point very clear.


You are talking about how the author of the novel has written kumud, this is SLB's interpretation of the novel, so he can make as many changes he wants, and this is how he wants to portray kumud. her dress is different because she is the lead character.

TM Sorry to disagree with respect in regards to Kumud's costume...She is living in one of the village of Saurashtra-Gujarat where wearing ghaghra choli is a popular outfits..I do not see it vulgar nor do I see it cheap..
She can wear either GC or SK...She would just be fine..
If you are not aware of Gujarati traditions pls do not make comments as such..Yes they make her look very beautiful and desirable..She has the body to carry it too 😛SHe has the perfect kathiyawadi look IMHO 😃
My POV ofcourse..

Being a fashion designer and trying my hand in designing costumes for films the first thing i observe in any movie or show is costume of the particular character in that particular scene ( or situation of the scene) ..

And i felt Kumud's costume is one perfect costume i have ever seen in Indian television.. So opt .. The Gujiri work on her dress which gives an impression of a Gujarathi girl.. The Lehenga which has lot of Godes to give fullness of costume , Choli which has a drama to make her unique appearance as a lead..Dupatta that has draped in such a way imperfectly perfect.. The accessories and styling part goes perfect with her dress as she wears .. The four Bindis on her neck and tying Black thread to the hand .. Her Hair style is one perfect thing i have ever seen..Braided hair still have that crazy front layer..
When we think her back is too much exposed then no costume designer designs just as it.. there is a lot of research before actually design a dress for a character keeping the view of character type , era of the story , Region , situation and many things involves.. :)

I simply in love with her dressing.. Lets see how promising it will be in coming epis..

Kumud looks simple, elegant yet very desirable in the traditional costumes. Jennifer has the height and perfect body type to carry off those clothes so she has been given that particular type of look. Also I love her dusky complexion because it goes very well with the bright pinks, yellows and greens she wears.😊

I think using words like "cheap" is very harsh.I think she carries herself very elegantly.You do not like it so be it but you cannot call such a experienced director's vision of HIS lead heroine "cheap and vulgar".It is a epic love story doesn't mean that she has to be clad in dresses which cover her whole body.Indian women are curvaceous and have been flaunting their navel and waist in sarees & ghagra-choli's since olden times.Every place has a different culture and a different dressing sense.Rajasthani people are know to full-clad ghagra&cholis while many gujarati people wear ghagra-choli showing off their mid-riff. In fact in olden days,women didn't wear blouses also,just draped the saree.Girls in foreign countries flaunt their legs in mini-skirts and it is their choice,but they are not called cheap because it is allowed there while back-less cholis have been the choice of many traditonal indian women.It depends on choice.And her sisters,not sporting the same clothing also depends on choice.Kumud is the only girl in the village who holds a graduation degree so she's a little ahead of her times so she dresses according to her own will.And who told a teacher cannot wear such clothes?Look at Sushmita sen in Main hoon na!She wore falling pallus and sleeveless blouses& she looked so sexy.Just because Kumud lives in a village,you cannot judge her on that!And If Jenny's got it,why can't she flaunt it...😉

This is not to bash the TM,just my POV!And I read various posts,so couldn't quote everyone so just replied everyone in this!

I respect opinions of all, but everyone should know one simple thing here, Whenever we are working on work related to epics and classics, the costumes should be also fit in the framework correctly. whether it is 2013 or 2030.
Otherwise it looks very unworthy watch. We have seen Jennifer in more revealing cloths in DMG and other reality shows, its really beautiful, this doesnt mean she should be put into such kind of dresses which doesnt suite her role in the first place in this story line.


When did you see Jenifer in revealing outfits in DMG?Are full sleeves salwar kameez called revealing?How can you can say the dresses do not suit her role.This show is made my SLB and he decides the dress according to his vision of Kumud.There is no condition as which type of dresses suit her role.You do not like the dress so it is okay but you cannot say these dresses do not suit her role as Kumud is not made according to you.
