Nani Schools Internet on Women Wearing Braids, Says 'We Have More Important Stuff'

Actor Nani, known for his upcoming film The Paradise directed by Srikanth Odela, recently made headlines for sharing traditional views on women's hairstyles. In a conversation with reporters in Karnataka, he said that nobody is wearing braids nowadays and that women look beautiful in braids.

He even went as far as to say that men are growing their hair because women aren't putting braids, leading to hairfall.

This statement sparked a mix of amusement and criticism on social media. With some users praising his traditional views and others calling him out for being insensitive to modern women's struggles.

Nani's comments have also led to a wider conversation about the role of Western culture in shaping Indian beauty standards. As he pointed out during the interview, our mothers used to braid their daughters' hair. This has become less common in recent years.

When asked if he thought this trend would start again, Nani jokingly replied that he hoped Jadal would start that trend. The reporter he was speaking to awkwardly laughed off the comment, pointing out that nowadays men are growing out their hair.

Nani recalled that the girls at his school had thick hair, which added to the nostalgic tone of his comments.

The Paradise is set to release on September 24 and stars Kayadu Lohar, Mohan Babu, and Raghav Juyal. While some have praised Nani's traditional views, others have called for a more nuanced approach to beauty standards in India.
