Black is the colour of the season on television. Suddenly it's become the hue to portray evil, revenge, love, confrontation as well as justice. Though black may be ominous, telly women are sporting it to make their own fashion statement.

Manasi Salvi
She plays the title role in the SaharaOne soap, Sati. As a lawyer, she takes up womancentric cases and espouses their rights. When writer Kamlesh Pandey conceived the character, he felt that darkness could only root out darkness. "Andhkar hi andhkar se ladh sakta hai," mouths Sati. So whether Sati is in her lacy creation or in a business suit — it is all jet black. And black apparently is also the original colour of sati.
