The Panty Line Visible Debate: A Closer Look at South Indian Actresses
Here are the most effective ways to avoid VPL while wearing traditional or modern South Indian attire: 1. Opt for Specialized Saree Shapewear
- Thong Acceptance: Actresses like Keerthy Suresh and Sai Pallavi (known for natural roles) have reportedly switched to dancer's thongs for film schedules. They don’t advertise it, but the lack of VPL in recent films is noticeable.
- Red Carpet Revenge: At the IIFA Utsavam, several stars wore textured or printed leggings under gowns. If the fabric is patterned, the VPL is invisible.
- Calling it out: Aishwarya Rajesh (National Award winner) openly discussed in a podcast: “Stop zooming into my waist. If you see a line, good. It means I am wearing underwear. Do you want me not to?”
- Thong: Uncomfortable for 14-hour dance schedules.
- Seamless underwear: Often too light for heavy costumes.
- Shapewear: Suffocating under Chennai heat.
