Bollywood Mirror@bollywoodmirrorLara Dutta has answered criticism of her Kaikeyi look in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, saying people are fixating on small points.
She recalled asking Tiwari whether Kaikeyi, from Kekaya, should wear jewellery distinct from the other queens. She said going that deep would invite historians' views, so one common style was used across Mithila, Ayodhya and Lanka to tell those cultures apart.
Costume designers Rimple and Harpreet Narula said their choices reflected creative intent rather than strict historical accuracy, after viewers questioned the costumes in the trailer.
