From Sridevi in Chandni to Shraddha Kapoor in Saaho, Bollywood Snow Songs Have Always Been Cruel to Its Heroines - Here's Why!
From Chandni to Saaho, one thing that the audience got a chance to witness is this weird Bollywood norm of making the actresses wear the less-warm clothes in snow. Did the makers ever think of the comfort of their 'leading ladies' before the shot or after it? Check this out and you decide!
Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor's latest song from Saaho, "Enni Soni" is here. The song is actually a visual treat with the glamorous lead actors swaying in the picturesque, teeth-chattering COLD, locations in Austria. But one cannot just miss the fact that the age-old Bollywood norm has been repeated. Prabhas looks handsome in the white and black suits and so does Shraddha in red and yellow gowns with multiple slits. Of course, who cares about the temperature aspect when the ultimate motive is to make the video look' visually correct', right?
This is not the first time that the Bollywood heroines had to go through this unfair practice of wearing less than required clothes in the snowy regions. Don't get us wrong. The outfits have always been beautiful. But beauty comes with a cost for B-town divas. While male actors got the liberty or were instinctively given the opportunity to cover themselves up from head to toe with warm clothes, the actresses often had to pull off those pastel chiffon sarees or sheer minis to make the song seem glossy and serene. Only, if the makers knew that the humans in those pretty attires who conveniently work as a prop in the frame, are made up of same flesh and bones that the male actors are made up of!
The big banner movies have often taken this liberty of living up to their reputation of giving on-screen grandeur, at the cost of their lead actresses' health and well-being. Did these actresses ever complain? If they did, were they heard by anyone? All this is another part of the story! For now, let us take a look at a few ultra-popular songs that are 'popular' because of this 'little' sacrifice made by these stunners!
