The standards of beauty and the acceptance of westernisation has changed the image and portrayal of women on screen. Although Bollywood readily accepted this notion, it took time for it to seep into regional cinema. Marathi actresses were earlier slammed for wearing revealing clothes but over the years, the audience has become more accepting. The viewers have even appreciated the actress’ guts for donning bold costumes for their onscreen characters. But some of them have worn beachwear and flaunted their toned bodies. Let’s have a look at how the actresses helped Mollywood overcome the stigma surrounding bikinis, swimsuits, and female stars wearing revealing clothes in general.
Sai Tamhankar became the first Marathi actress to sport a bikini in her film. The actress received a lot of backlash for doing the same. But Sai is a bold woman who lives by her own rules and doesn’t care what people think about her. And we love her for that!
