The small screen has often redefined Indian fashion, from heavy sarees to makeup, bindis, and pallus. Characters like Komolika Basu with her modern-styled sarees, Gopi bahu’s ideal “bahu look”, and the professionally forward attire of Mallika Seth from ‘Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin’ have left a lasting impression.
Television stars are vocal about the small screen’s role as a trendsetter, showcasing affordable fashion.
Rakshanda Khan told Ians: “Ok, if you ask me, I think rather than being style revivers, TV actors are actually trendsetters! Look at a show like ‘Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin’.”
“The general public had no idea of what Satya Paul is till the show made it so popular that it fawned copies! Everything from sarees to bindis, jewellery, so much of it stems from what we see on TV,” added the actress, who has also worked in shows such as ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ and ‘Naagin 3’, among many others.
