Sigh… I still cannot wear a sari Myself: Bipasha Basu

Kolkata: Wearing a sari is so difficult for Bollywood glamgirl Bipasha Basu that the 30-year-old actress and model still needs someone to help her out. “Wearing a sari is difficult. I cannot wear it myself. This is only the second time this year that I am wearing a sari,” she told reporters here yesterday after putting the ramp on fire dressed in a red and white sari from the Monapali collection at the ongoing Kolkata Fashion Week.

Rural weaves is the theme of the city’s first-ever fashion week. She said she likes their work which strikes a balance between ethnicity and modernity. “The theme is good as it showcases the talent of weavers and this is what makes Kolkata Fashion Week different from all other fashion weeks,” she said while praising city-based fashion designers.

Asked whether working in films is easier or walking on the ramp, the Bengali actress quipped: “In cinema it is easier. Here if I trip, all the television cameras will catch me. I cannot make mistakes on the ramp”.

I am embarrassed for her, and I am embarrassed for all of us.

Sigh… the saree dress is here

I know, I know, its been around for a while, but the man can complain, can’t he?

This is not a blouseless saree, it is just draped so that it looks like it is blouseless. There is a firm tubetop blouse that provides support.
