Hmm, I’m actually quite surprised to the fact that its known as a hindu/sikh tradition seeing as though they are exactly like a dholki! That’s only being said because I’ve attended numerous dholki’s here, difference being us Indians generally just call it a Sangeet.
Regarding Bollywood, the oldies sing ‘their’ traditional songs; songs dated from the last century or so, and I say that because my great gran even sings them. Surely its not just to ‘fit in’ lol. These songs are ridiculous though, I must admit.
I’m unsure how it is in Hydrebad, but from what I’ve seen in India and here in the UK, every Indian muslims’ sangeet I’ve been to hasn’t been a big deal, in a sense the aunties/grannies havn’t got up to complain about how we shouldn’t incorporate such ‘vaahiyat’ traditions of other cultures (cos we know how desi weddings can be!). Just goes to show it’s been going on for years.
I dunno, it isn’t a big deal to us. I was just surprised by your comment. For what I know, Indian muslims have been doing this for years.
Though I do agree with you all when you say her makeup has been atrocious throughout! lol Her being Sania.
And how I wished both Shoaib and Sania had an outfit made by a pakistani designer! I adore pakistani couture, so it would have been great to see Sania in something non-indianish.
But then she goes and wears red for everything :\ sigh!
