Manasi Salvi’s classy look in Star Bharat show, Papa By Chance, is getting a lot of praise. “I give full credit to my creative team and designer, Shibani, for creating this elegant look. They were quite clear about what they were looking for, e.g. my long hair, as most North Indian women have long tresses.”
Coming to the eternal Indian attire, Manasi loves the blue sari. “It is my favourite and my lucky colour. Also, I go for minimalist makeup and jewellery, which is more wearable.”
“The look is just right; while being glamorous, it is within normal Indian parameters, that is how rich 40-year women look like. It is very important to be accepted as part of society.”
Here, Manasi adds that the creative team always holds discussions with her before any scene and nothing is hoisted on her. “So if, as per my character’s mental frame and situation, I feel that the look needs to be tempered (house scene) or go up a notch (party scene), they readily accept my suggestions. This teamwork really helps to raise the bar.”
“I have got lots of positive feedback regarding my look, so this means that people still watch TV and it still continues to be a reference point for contemporary fashion. Appreciating my style quotient, I always get customized wardrobes for all my characters.”
