Asha Parekh expressed her displeasure
The veteran actress has expressed her displeasure over the western fashion of Indian women. Asha Parekh said in one of her interviews that, “Women have stopped wearing traditional dresses on special occasions.” Asha Parekh further said, “Everything has changed, the films that are being made. Girls are coming to the wedding wearing gowns. Arre bhaiya, humari ghaghra choli, saariyan aur salwar-kameez hai aap wo pehno na. Why don’t you wear those?” (Why don’t they wear our ghagra choli, saree and salwar-kameez).”
She added, “They just watch the heroines on the screen and wish to copy them. Screen pe dekh ke wo jo kapde pehen rahe us tarah ke kapde hum bhi pehnenge …mote ho, ya jo, hum wahi phenenge. Ye western ho raha hai mujhe dukh hota hai (They just want to wear the clothes being worn by the actors on screen irrespective of their body type. I am very sad about westernisation).”
Earlier, Jaya Bachchan also raised this question. On the podcast What The Hell Navya, Jaya had asked her daughter Shweta Bachchan and granddaughter Navya Nanda, “Why is it, I want to ask you both, that Indian women are wearing more western clothes?”
Jaya said, “I feel what has happened is very unknowingly, we’ve accepted that the western clothing is more… it gives that manpower to a woman. I would love to see a woman in a womanpower. I’m not saying go wear a saree that’s just an example but I think in the west also women always dressed in dresses. This whole thing much later in life where they also started also wearing pants.”
