Gown vs Saree - Page 5

I have NO problems with Ishita not wearing a backless n off shoulder gown for a cocktail party but she ended up looking like a woman going for a Puja than a Cocktail party - within her comfort zone she could have worn a designer saree with sleeveless blouse etc. The point still could have been made that Ishita is not comfortable in such revealing dresses.

Now they showed media praising Ishita for going traditional (yes she looked beautiful no arguments on that) but really was this required? Its as if the people who wear EVening gowns or designer saares r non Traditional or are fools to turn up wearing such clothes in Cocktail parties.

Y r women who wear backless or off shoulder dresses looked down upon? How does wearing a gown makes u non traditional and wearing a saree makes u traditional ? Its not as if Ishu has never worn an evening gown ever? What were the cvs exactly trying to say? 😆

Every show does this! It is never about the characters and the story, it always has to come down to making a commentary on some "issue" (usually a woman's issue) and the way they go about doing it is so superficial. Just a week ago, Ishita was asking Raman what he would want her to wear to that award ceremony. So what happened now? The guy expressed his likes and she goes ahead and does the complete opposite. she didn't have to wear THAT particular dress, she could have picked out something she was comfortable in. But that's right, the tagline for this track is women's freedom to wear sarees so the story and character and logic be damned. Even Raman has complimented her in her saree look before but for the sake of the saree track, Ishita wears the most inappropriate outfit for the occasion and Raman has a new "gown" obsession

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.

Well thanks a lot guys for commenting. 🤗

Cant comment now but got the gist of what all of us wanted to discuss, yes we all have different sensibilities hence we reacted differently.

For some it was more about Raman learning a lesson n for some (like me) it was about Ishita un-necessarily trying to make a style statement where it was really not required. (Wearing Puja Attire for a cocktail party)

Imho all this lesson in Traditional dressing and how to help Indian Saree weavers were not really required.

N most important thing that ticked me off was Ruhi did not go to Cocktail party so ideally there was no NEED for Ishra to go in the first place and all this Dress drama could have been avoided. It looked forced to me.
