New Delhi, Nov 23: Be it Madhubala's Anarkali look in "Mughal−e−Azam" or Kareena Kapoor's T−shirt−salwar combo in "Jab We Met", Bollywood has inspired trends down the ages. But that influence seems to be waning due to a variety of reasons, including greater exposure to the West and the move towards more realistic cinema, say designers.
There is also the constant fear of criticism, which has restricted filmmakers from attempting to set fashion trends.
According to veteran designer Ritu Kumar, people were earlier not so exposed to fashion. So every new and unique garment seen on the big screen set a trend..
