13 Times Bollywood Movies Did Not Know What A Dupatta Was

By Biya Haq | 21 May, 2017

If there’s one thing all Pakistani’s can say about India is that we love their movies. Whether it’s a Karan Johar romantic comedy (basically every Indian movie you have heard of in the last three years) or a dramatic Yash Chopra production (every other movie before that), Bollywood movies have always been our guilty pleasure.

But one thing that is so painfully pointless in every single Indian movie? The use of the dupattas, or a lack of understanding how to use them, we should say. You want to know why? Because they’re paired off with every outfit,

for

absolutely

no

reason.

Don’t get us wrong, a girl’s dupatta is her own and she can do whatever she wants but Bollywood trying to tell us that it’s only purpose is to “excite” men is… uhmm… shall we say, funny? Lol, please, observe:

Okay Naina, just because your glasses came off it doesn’t mean your dupatta had to be so strategically placed either. Tutt tutt tutt.

3. Kal Ho Na Ho

Okay Kal Ho Na Ho,  leiken aaj your dupatta is big enough to cover some more skin. Ahkay?

Looks like Rani is saari not saari for her lack of dupatta, tucking it in isn’t doing much for you, is it?

 

7. Mujhse Dosti Karoge

Okay someone please get Rani a new stylist. Wonder what her darzi was thinking when she asked for this criss cross neck cut.

Lol, okay this is the exact opposite of what you should be doing with your dupatta. Come on Ash (no pun intended.)

No dupatta, no dupatta, no dupatta.

“Oh noooo, my dupatta keeps running off, haha silly thing” lol ok

Someone please help Rani out, it seems as if she’s on a constant hunt for the use of her dupatta, don’t worry Rani, the rest of your film friends are right there with you.

 

Let’s just make it clear that we have no beef with Bollywood movies and their stylists (hello we watch your movies around the clock.) The point is also not to police what women can and cannot choose to wear. The point is also not to police what women can and cannot choose to wear. The point is, that women should be able to choose what they want to wear, THEMSELVES.  Also, WHAT THE DUPATTA! YE TOH HUMARI IZZAT HOTA HAI, BOLLYWOOD! Aur aap ne humari izzat aise urra di hawa mein… not fair.

Have you said the same thing under your breath or to your friends while watching Bollywood movies? Have you noticed any other special things? Let us know in the comments below! Love you.
