It was just yesterday that I was watching my favourite channel TLC
and ended up watching the hugely popular Trinny and Susannah's makeover series.
The last night's show was interesting because the series was
exclusively shot in India
It was interesting to observe that how much we Indians lack the
sense to dress. Most of us believe that it is stylish and in-vogue to wear the
dresses that the celebrities adorn. We believe that if particular apparel looks
good on someone famous, then it will look good on us too.
The classic example of this mindset was aptly evident in the show
yesterday. When Trinny asked one of the volunteer on the show to name any well
dressed and stylish celebrity whom he would like to emulate; the person
instantly replied Amir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.
To this response Trinny obviously had her reservations. Though she
did not utter them in obvious, but she was coy enough to point it out to the
person that both the men in question were much much older to him.
By the way that person was of 29 years of age, which is obviously
way lower to the ages of 45 and 60 of the good
dressed celebrities
respectively.
So obviously the person had to drop out from the option of looking
like those two men.
Then Trinny asked the same dude to name any stylishly dressed
Indian sportsperson. But on this question the person ended up being more
dumbstruck than the time he was on being asked a good dressed Bollywood male.
It indeed turned out hilarious. But come to think of the serious
issue; our country has so many celebrities who belong to the sports fraternity,
but none, I repeat none can be termed as stylish. There are hunks like Yuvraj
Singh, and also so called hunks named Virat Kohli, but nobody is known for
having a unique dressing statement.
I thought a lot on this deplorable state of our sporting people
lacking a sportive spirit in fashion. Not only the sporty people could not manage to bring Olympic Golds, but they also lack lustre in the dressing fields.
But I got a little happy when I thought of Mr. Navjyot Singh Siddhu.
But I got a little happy when I thought of Mr. Navjyot Singh Siddhu.
He is the only one I can name who actually seems to be giving a
thought to his dressing before stepping out in the media lights.
Not just he matches his ties and kerchiefs to his turbans, but
also immaculately compliments his footwear to his suits.
Thank goodness there is pajji who could make the work of these
fashionista ladies a little less burdensome.
Though, only if the ladies could locate him on their radar.
