Ok let me first tell that I am effing frustrated over this hypocritical nit picking of Paro aka Sanaya's clothes.
So for once and for all I will address all the points that have been raised so far.
Let's take the elephant in the room out of the way 1st.
Sanaya is being exploited. Poor Sanaya.. oh.. how she is forced to wear stuff she is not comfortable in!!
And now that single sentence of her where she made an observation regarding her new dress having less covering than the neck to toe covered Rudra's oversized clothes is used to show how Sanaya herself is not comfy.
1st of all let me tell all the internet worriers that - Sanaya is a grown woman. She is well respected in this industry and if she is not comfortable with some dress she has the guts as well as the clout enough to tell it and get it fixed!
If u are a Sanaya fan u will know she is not someone to let any1 force anything she doesn't like on her without making a single protest.
Anyway u r after all now using Sanaya's own words to prove a point right? Let me use the same method. but not a vague statement but a clear clarification from her that she absolutely loves the look that was designed for her for the show as Paro

I will even go as far as to type a word to word quote
"This beautiful outfit is made by Jerry, our best stylist. So yehi pehenrahi hu. And LUCKILY MERI SHOW MEIN YEHI LOOK HAI (So I am wearing this, and luckily in the show I am sporting the same look)"
Now this doesn't seem to come from someone oh so uncomfortable does it?
Anyway let me share some caps of the outfit as she wore it.
Now few more caps of Paro on the show where she is even more covered actually!
Look the extent of exposed waist is MUCH MUCH lesser here
So I am guessing that is enough to sort this misunderstanding of exploiting poor Sanaya against her wishes nonsense!
Point 2.
Glamorizing of the female lead. And thus facing an issue of watching with family!!
Now well tell me one thing, why is it that when its Sanaya that is the main lead only people have such a huge issue?
I am using 2 actresses I personally like and have been fans of since their 1st serials namely Kyunki & KZK.
Mouni & Jenny
Mahadev airs at a time slot MUCH BEFORE Rangrasiya! SMACK in the middle of prime time when RR is actually airing at the end of it just before night timing begins!!
So how many of u shoe away ur impressionable innocent children away when this beautiful lady comes on it?
(See this snap - there is a girl child too! Did u people write to the authorities of exposing that kid to it first hand considering u people r making such a hue n cry over it here?)
AND how many of u had an issue about her being dressed like that and the rest on the background not being dressed like that (see image) ,AND RAISED the issue on the forum? Tell me, how many people regularly crib about the length of the choli or the cleavage?
So why the HELL is it an issue when Sanaya wears not just a WAY WAY more sedate outfit that shows NO CLEAVAGE AT ALL compared to that and much less of midriff too!
The same case here again = in GPA the other 3 ladies who danced with Sanaya wore much more covered clothes. That is cz some people have the body to carry something and some people have different suitable looks!
THAT IS another reason that the rest on the show r not dressed like her apart from her being the freaking leading lady!!
Now let's take Jenny from SC. SC comes at 7.30 PM. Now that is the time i used to sit in front of the TV and do homework! So that is definitely a time kids are around right?
So how many of u wrote petitions and waged wars on IF to ask them to cover Jenny up?
Jenny looks stunning here! So did u people see that or did u do the same thing u r doing to Paro aka Sanaya and ask for a wardrobe change there too?
And another point. The so called glamorization being condemned by comparing other Rajasthani shows to this.
1. saas bahu shows or social message show - usually they base them on a rural backdrop
2. romances - they take a small town girl to a bigger city and the story unfolds there
RR is a unique situation of a rural love story - but what these guys don't get is, they will not dress the balika vadhu kid in a midriff baring dress cz its a social message show.
But they dressed Khushi in that manner and will dress Paro in that manner cz they r straight out romances..
PLUS - luckily this time RR is at 9.30-10.00 pm that is the last end of prime time and can show risque moments so to speak. And sensual looks and wardrobe to match and scenes to follow r gonna be a norm every1 will have to accept.
cz despite being based on a rural backdrop its a fantasy love story, and thus will be treated as one..
So here the issue shouldn't be Sanaya dressing like this as Paro is an issue but not her dressing like this for Khushi.
I am a SI fan and loved each character that she played.
Since I can't express in words as well as you do here are my two cents.
-Seerat
Finally my last point.
3. The so called reality. You want reality?
OK what about this for a good reality check?
I am going to copy paste my reply from another thread in to this cz i wasted enough time already putting all of this together.
My only answer to u people is that what they are showing REALITY!! What other cultures consider exposure is not what Rajasthani culture thinks is.
Ex: where i am at, exposing midriff would not be very advisable unless its a sari, even then exposing much is not the norm.
BUT a skirt/mini short about 4-6 inches above knee level and a tube top/spaghetti top might be much easily accepted as long as tummy is covered (which is what i am right now wearing) while head covering would get one strange glances.
Leaving out legs open is normal for us and leaving tummy open is kind of taboo for us.
In Rajasthan check out the snaps, covering the head and legs is the mandatory part - which they kept very rigidly till Paro's wedding. After that what they will do with her i dunno, cz she has already been without head covering in front of the house people while she wore Rudra's clothes. which changes the situation.
None of the cultures r wrong.
Now my most shy friend to the most bold one will wear a short skirt cz its what we usually wear unless it looks bad on that specific person.
Just like that a girl born and brought up in California near the beach may wear a bikini irrespective of if she is the shiest kid in the class or the most outgoing one. cz that is a day to day activity like eating certain native food items!
What most of u r making a big deal is the normal thing in Rajasthan from all the stuff i and quite a lot of others found after going through many real documented stuff!

OK, I googled Rajashtani women and here's what I found.Rajashtani women usually cover their heads with the dupattas but don't always cover the front.
The lady in orange ( behind the one magenta) is wearing a short choli.
This lady is wearing a deep neck choli. They are villagers btw.
These are some paintings that I found. Artists have depicted Rajasthani women in sexy, backless choli's as well. So I guess, they wear these kind of choli's too.
The whole question is about authenticity right? So tell me, how any of these are different from what Sanaya is wearing in the show?
Are the first three pictures not real?
... I have been to jaipur ... Lived in agra which is 3 hrs away from Jaipur..
It was a standing joke in my trip... That the ladies wear very sexy blouses with low neckline... Backless blouses.. Some were absolutely scandalous...but the idea was to keep head covered and half the face covered when talking to men folk like mohini chachi is doing..

thanks for this.
I recently found this about rajisthani women in this on a site about tribal women in Rajisthan villages.
You can clearly see short cholis with waist exposed. All part of the norm there.
In all this, I think Sanaya looks gorgeous and love seeing her.
Finally
Feminism is 'me' wearing what I want and what i feel comfy in, not what the hell my husband, boyfriend, mother in law or neighborhood aunty or the dogs in the streets think I should wear!
And a request to the other sane people
If u see any more topics over this. Bookmark this one and the 1st one of u who come across the post copy and paste this whole thing there.
So if the poster has any issues after that - which has not been clarified through this can ask it then.
PS: if u had a genuine gripe the last 2 points should cover it as that is facts and figures. if it was the 1st one.. read it.. i have nothing more to say to that such ones! π₯±
Made this cz i am sick of people working hard to nit pick and find faults about this show while having enjoyed the same situation in other cases.
