That's not what the article says. It says that this role is taking away from her usual sexual image. She's playing more of a (stereotypical) traditional Indian female role in this film. Yes, saris are sexy. No where does it say that being a South Indian or wearing a saris is 'unsexy' or 'de-glamified'. I agree with Pujja. Get a clue.

Yeah i agree it is nonsense. Nonsense that playing a south Indian role takes away from her sexiness. A saree is the sexiest form of clothing in my opinion and even as an auntyji of whateva they call it she still looks mighty fine,that was the point I was tryna make regarding the use of 'de-glam-fy'. Pujja if anything I'm one of the few people that has been trying to bridge the divide sadly ignorance out numbers me.

guys, get a clue. Celina always is known as playing the "sexy" roles and for once is playing a role not focused on her sex appeal and focuses more on her acting. i dont think this at all implies that south indian roles "de-glamify" a person. calm down! stop this north vs south nonsense!

wow what a retarded statement. how does playing a south indian 'de-glamify' a person?

I did not know playing a South Indian character de-glam-fies a person. What is this article tryna say? Its about time movies and the media in general try to bridge the divide between the North & the South of India caused by years of ignorant ways of thinking to create a unified race for all be it Indian nationals or the Indian diaspora.Hats off to the director though I hope its not a character that pokes fun at South Indians.
