Veteran actress Asha Parekh recently attended the 53rd International Film Festival of India in Goa and opened up about the effect of westernization on Indian culture.

Asha also spoke about the changes she has witnessed in the film industry over the past few years.
The legendary actress pointed out that she fails to understand why women are wearing gowns at weddings even when they are fat. She was quoted as saying, “Everything has changed. The films that are being made are …I do not know, we are so westernised. gowns pehen k wedding pe aa rahi hain ladkiyan. Arre bhaiya, humari ghaghra choli, saariyan aur salwar-kameez hai aap wo pehno na. Why don't you wear those?.”
Adding to this, the actress rued that these days women are just copying heroines. Instead of wearing our traditional outfits, they are going for western dresses even when they are fat.

“They just watch the heroines on the screen. Screen pe dekh ke wo jo kapde pehen rahe us tarah ke kapde hum bhi pehnenge …mote ho, ya jo, hum wahi phnenge. Ye western ho raha hai mujhe dukh hota hai. We have such great culture, dance and music we could get it all back in pop culture,” Asha further stated.
