There are a few mythological creatures that I put in similar category - in Hindu Folklore there's the character of 'Icchadhari Naagin' who usually takes revenge via luring people to their deaths by shape-shifting. In Greek Mythology there's the character of 'Sexy Siren' who lures sailors to death by her voice. And the famous legend of the 'Woman in White', a ghost dressed in white which haunts deserted forests or roads and who seduces travellers to later give them violent deaths. All of these mythological characters IMO have kinda similar motivations and have generally less regards for any skin show. Hence, I personally don't mind Pratha & Mahek's naagin look.
Also, I kinda don't expect the costume department to care for any skin-show because this isn't some daily soap where FL is a sanskari bahu who's buried under 5kg jewellery and saree-pallu lol. I also don't think this is anything new tbh, as they've increasingly been pro skin-show right from S4 & then S5.
My only concern was the actor's comfort. If the actors are carrying their costumes well, if they're comfortable with running in forests & doing tandav then who am I to object lol. And if they're not, then they'll obviously make changes, like Teja made certain adjustments in her costume as per her comfort.
^ Just my opinion, baaki toh sabka apna apna thought process hai. I agree that some families might not feel comfortable watching certain costumes, especially in case of Mahek, but my family doesn't care much (I watch with both my parents). They only expressed displeasure once & that too with the storyline when Pratha-Rishab randomly started their OOC dancing on Humma Humma lol and my Mom was like 'Kya bakwaas chal rahi hai ye' 😆
