Samantha fumes at carefree journalism
Samantha Ruth Prabhu is one of the few actresses down South who presents herself in elegant and funky avatars for every event she attends. Stories have been written on her dressing style in India’s leading fashion blogs like Pink Villa, High Heel Confidential etc. Today, an article published in a leading English daily didn’t go down well the petite lass. The headline read, “Samantha copying Sonam and Deepika?” and the article went on to discuss in detail on how Samantha’s designers have been aping Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone’s wardrobe since a long time.
A furious Samantha took to her Twitter page and what followed was a spate of tweets from the Anjaan actress. She even apologized to her followers for spamming their timelines.
Dear TOI wanted to clarify a few things and basically educate the so called fashionistas we have at the TOI offices. When a designer comes up with a collection they make similar pieces in a selected color palate for the season. nationally recognized labels if not internationally … Have ALWAYS KEY PIECES.. A dhoti of Anamika Khanna, a cut work blouse of Arpita are not just made in a single piece for one single celeb… These are available in stores and online. Styling is being able to wear a similar outfit or may be the same and putting your spin on it. If I have chosen to educate myself about all these wonderful designers and decided to put in effort to style better and have fun, I don’t see it as an entertainment quotient that Times has decided to review. National level fashion blogs and sites such as High heel, pink villa , miss malini.. Whose sole purpose is to scout for fashion genius moments and fashion disasters… Has reviewed my looks multiple number of times and have praised. I don’t remember Times suddenly becoming our new fashion review standard and accusing someone of copying. fashion is fun .. I hope a reputed institution like TOI has better standards for its front pages. Ps thanks for the publicity.
She finally signed off saying, “Sorry about the spamming. Early morning madness.”
