As a Gujarati I am highly offended with the same topics almost every other day. Yes, when navratri comes I do where similar chaniya choli's as Kumud wears. I work at a nursing home in which there is an Indian floor and almost every patient watches this show and they love her dresses and mind you they are old aged.
Are you kidding me that girls in India don't wear such dresses? I went to India last year and my house is in a village during my cousins garba all of the girls in the village wore modern chaniya choli's...and yes many were backless...and see through oodhni's...including mine.
What Kumud is wearing is the latest fashion chaniya choli's...they are trendy. They are still in fashion. In fact see through oodhnis are in style right now; most of the young generation wears exactly what Kumud wears. Yes, in villages not everyday...because now girls do wear jeans and pants...but even long ago they made blouses that were backless. In fact, my mom's old chaniya choli looks new because the backless fashion and see through oodhni's are IN!!
Just because it is backless and the oodhni is transparent doesn't mean that it is at all vulgar. Her dresses are in fact very classy...and I would myself want to wear them...and so would my cousins...she carries the dress with such grace and elegance. The oodhni too is put on perfectly...that is how a guju wears her oodhni.
Go watch some navratri videos on YouTube you will see this type of dressing. Gosh, tired of reading the same topic, this time I couldn't help but respond.
