Indian television just gave plus-size fashion a major win. On Meri Bhavya Life, actress Prisha Dhatwalia is starring in a storyline that has her preparing for a wedding—and doing it in unapologetically stunning bridal couture, created for her curves, not despite them.
Every episode feels like a rejection of outdated bridal rules. Gone are the tight bustiers and restrictive lehengas. Instead, Prisha’s looks are designed for her body type—flowy kalidars with detailed mirror work, shararas that highlight movement, and dupattas that drape with elegance, not constraint. And it’s not just a costume. It’s emotionally aligned styling—empowering and personal.
She’s also speaking up about it off-screen. In a recent interview, Prisha said, “The outfit should fit you—you shouldn’t have to fit into it.” That statement, though simple, hit hard. Social media has exploded with support. Brides-to-be are tagging designers, stylists are resharing, and bridalwear labels are (finally) listening.
What’s even more powerful is how viewers are connecting to her confidence. Her walk, her smile, the way she owns every frame—it’s rewriting the narrative that beauty is about fitting in. Instead, it’s about fitting out, unapologetically.
Final Take: Prisha’s character may be fictional, but her fashion impact is very real. Her bridal looks aren’t just pretty—they’re political. And hopefully, they mark the start of a more inclusive era in Indian bridal couture where every bride gets to feel seen, styled, and celebrated.
