Chitrangda Singh's one-outfit stint

In her upcoming flick, Sudhir Mishra’s Yeh Saali Zindagi, Chitrangda dons one ensemble in all scenes — a large blue sweater, distressed jeans and a pair of brown boots, all bought from a small store in Mumbai.

Remember Kareena Kapoor’s same-sari look in Chameli? Now, it’s Chitrangda Singh’s turn to wow viewers with a one-outfit stint. In her upcoming flick, Sudhir Mishra’s Yeh Saali Zindagi, Singh dons one ensemble in all scenes — a large blue sweater, distressed jeans and a pair of brown boots, all bought from a small store in Mumbai. The actor, who plays an aspiring singer in the film, says, “I actually loved the idea of wearing just one dress throughout the film ... you slowly see the rollercoaster my character is going through, on her outfit as well. So no, I never thought of cajoling Sudhir (for a change), though I’m sure he is thankful the story didn’t need 30 outfits!”

In response to why such a look was chosen for the film, she says, "The character I play is that of a regular girl who is looking to book a gig at a nightspot in town. She is as glamorous as a struggling musician, but she is no rockstar."

Singh also says that she loves the title of the film, especially the use of the swear word, saali. "The characters come to a point where love leaves them no choice but to follow it ... it’s how our own choices leave us helpless and we turn around to face things. Saali is such a fantastic word, it expresses affection, anger, frustration — everything in one word.

Need no change!
