The Gujju culture in surrounding - Page 2

Not Gujju but can't stop myself from replying. I've never lived in India but seeing the way cousins over there dress I would say that no one in any decent sized Indian town or city dresses according to state traditions, especially in the younger generation. All my cousins wear jeans and T-shirts as everyday wear and suits according to the latest fashion. The idea of CC's dress is that she has mixed indian and Western clothing and come up with a style that she likes...again this reflects her personality in being an independent free thinking girl of today's times. As for the saris I know even if I were to wear a gujarati design sari I would still probably wear it with the pallu in the back rather than the front.

ChhanChhan and her family are with modern outlook...

No I m not co radicti g myself. What I m trying to say is , they try to make clothe city style and then add Gujarati touch in weird places that it ends up bei v neithe gujju nor trendy clothes.

If I had seen chanchan with jeans with bandhani murti instead of that small koti/vest she wears I can totally take it. I think I did not explain my self well . They messed up her costumes trying to make it trendy but then make it gujju. There are many other trendy city style gujju clothing.

Im not gujarati but I'm sure you must be right. It's the "modernized" gujarati family hahaha.

See example of trendy gujju dress

I like ChhanChhan's clothes. The bolero vests are adorable. After I saw ChhanChhann's 1st episode and the vest she wore; I took an old saree from my mother and had a couple of vests made for me.

I agree with you completely ! 😃 It all seems so forced. I live in the same city they are showing and I swear I have never seen anyone in such kinda clothes 😕

well i think you all are misintrepreting what she is trying to say.

i think what neesha (TM) is trying to say is that instead of showing chanchan in either modern dressing or traditional dressing, they are mixing it up but in a very bad combination...

They are TRYING way too hard to show her and her family as Gujju. It's like to all the non-residents of India, i am sure you have come across some people (Indians in particular) who try too hard to appear Whites or Americans either with their behaviour or dressing.

basically if chanchan is modern, its completely fine, but why add random stuff around to make it look gujju.
