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”.

Sigh… this is a shame, really! This is not her failure – this is a collective failure of all os us; the parents, the society, the designers and the fans.
Wearing a saree, for an Indian woman, should be as much of a requirement as learning to knot a tie for any English boy.
I am embarrassed for her, and I am embarrassed for all of us.

What’s worse, in some circles, it’s fashionable to say such things. For crimes against femininity, I propose we make the target of a pink panty campaign.
Big deal she doesn’t know how to wear a sari! You’re talking like she commited a crime or something. Just because you’re a desi woman doesn’t mean that you HAVE to know how to wear a sari. You know what I think is embarrassing? That a grown man would be embarrassed by this, I mean seriously, grow up!
What’s with your hate against bipasha anyway? Every post of bipasha I’ve seen on here is negative. I think it’s charming that she admits this, makes her more likeable
Mel, please stay civil in your discussions, especially when commenting about the moderator and even more so when responding to other posters.
So I am prude; I get embarrassed when a guy can’t knot his tie and I am embarrassed when a woman, an icon of Bollywood, says that she can not put on a saree. So sue me..
Can you tie your shoe laces? Hope so; and if you can’t and I see you struggling with it at the track meet, I, a grown man with juvenile tendencies, will probably get embarrassed for you as well. Same concept here. Deal with it.
I like the hair.
she looks like housemaid
