Gown vs Saree - Page 4

Actually, I take back the last part of my former comment. I don't think a woman needs to wear even a designer sari for a cocktail party either. If she wants to come in a traditional kanjeevaram sari, what's the big deal? Aren't we all advocates for women rights? A woman should wear what she is comfortable in whenever she wants. The occasion should not force her to wear something she's not comfortable in.

If Ishita feels more comfortable in traditional sari, then she should wear that for any occasion she wants.

It's true that people should wear western outfits if they're comfortable in them, but the same is true for the other side as well. I think CVs showed this episode today because so many women are looked down nowadays if they wear sari. Western clothes are becoming much more acceptable in society but in the process, the women who prefer traditional clothing are made to feel ugly and plain. A woman can be sexy and gorgeous in a sari too, even a traditional sari. There is a stereotype nowadays that a woman in western dress is sexy and gorgeous, and a woman in sari is "homely". Women in saris are not often described as beautiful. So I can understand Ishita's insecurity.

The CVs message is that beauty is inherent, not dependent on clothing. They wanted to show people that women in saris can be just as gorgeous as women in western dresses, but the route they took to portray this message was a bit weird.

From the larger point of view, I have no issues in what she wears. Because in general all they want to convey is the difference between the two woman. Ishita and Shagun. Shagun is all about external beauty and Ishita about internal.

Although I've seen Ishita wear backless on Mihir's function too, so that argument is just baseless. But then again, Ishita should wear what she is comfortable in. Just that on a personal note and nothing to do with the episode or character I would have loved if they gave her a better saree to wear. Because she's worn them before and also because Divyanka carries them very well.

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">And similarly the question can be asked - does only wearing a revealing/western dress make someone sexy? Being sexy is more of an attitude as per me rather than anything else. You could look smoldering covered head to toe as well, outfits come later.</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">In the new BTS Ishita is shown having a similar thought process too - a woman wearing a saree can be sexy too and similarly a woman who wears saree could be sexy when she wants to be - it depends is she wants to be sexy just for her husband or for the world - cos at the end of it - it you arent comfortable even if you are wearing a saree it is gonna show and make you a butt of jokes</font>

Great post Aani, but honestly I still don't understand the issue here Ishita had worn gowns in the past and some were backless so for her to suddenly have a problem with it does seem quite strange. If Ishita hadn't worn gowns then it is entirely a different matter. Most of Ishita's sarees are backless too, the only difference is that she had her hair loose and open which she could have done the same with the dress.

The big issue I have is Ishita having no qualms to give her gift which her husband had brought for her to wear and to make a matter worst, she didn't even ask him or let him know in advance. Ishita made Raman look like a fool in front of his ex-wife. It's even more bizarre when it's not so long age she kicked up a big fuss to Raman for disrespecting her gift to him when she, herself, is also doing the same.

In simple words I have a major problem with this show is how writers are lacking in precision and accuracy in characterisation of both Raman and Ishita.

I really don't care that Ishita didn't wear that particular dress...esp if she was not comfortable in it. My problem is why do the heroines in these soaps always have to be the spokesperson for one cause or the other! Why can't they for once be just normal people who are not placed on a pedastal constantly for one agenda or the other.. Everything they do has to prove a point- whether it be "feminism," a woman's right to have a male friend, or a women's right to wear a saree (I didn't even realize there was such a movement out there). Every track needs a preaching moment...why???

Oh this Nayi soch is beyond my understanding 🤪i guess m stupid to think otherwise 😆

@Bold is my thoughts too but was really disappointed how it was shown that wearing something that women like is looked down upon in this case talking about Shagun. CVs shouldnt have made traditional vs non traditional issue only shown that Ishita was most beautiful in that party.

Thanks for the comment 😊

Honestly I don't feel it was about ishita standing for a cause or anything it was actually a build up for their relationship

And as you said, after all this the writers muck up the whole point anyway. If a woman is supposed to be sexy in a saree, then why is Ishita dressing up as a cocktail waitress at home? what point does this prove 😕

I cant read all the comments on all the pages... right now

My only one is

Its how people assume a person that speaks English is progressive and modern and the one that cant is automatically considered regressive and backward...

I rest my case...
