Actress Asha Parekh has shared that she feels it distressing that Indian ladies choose to wear western dresses and gowns for their marriage instead of the traditional dresses such as ghaghra-choli. Asha was delivering at a session at the ongoing 53rd International Film Festival of India in Goa.
Asha said that Everything has changed (since the time when she worked in films). The movies that are being made are …I do not know, we are so westernised. gowns pehen k marriage ceremony me aa rahi hain ladkiyaan(girls). Listen bhai, humari ghaghra choli, saariyan aur salwar-kameez hai wear that na
She further said, “Why dont you wear those? Theatres pe dekh ke wo jo kapde pehen rahe us tarah ke kapde hum bhi pehnenge …mote ho, ya jo, hum wahi phnenge.Ye western ho raha hai mujhe dukh hota hai. We have such eminent culture, dance and music we could get it all back in pop culture.”
