Wet underarm of BD celebrities
Ehsan Imdad Banani, Dhaka
TV commercial models, actresses, newscasters, singers, nearly all of them are an embarrassment to me with their wet underarms on the TV screen. It is not only embarrassing it also tells me that they most likely smell bad if you get close to them. Can't they afford to buy an anti-perspirant or deodorant? Excretion of sweat from underarm creates bad odour and in today's world this is not acceptable. In the US many people take a deep breath when they see an Indian looking face (Bangladeshi, Indian, Pak) approaching because they are offended by either body odour or curry smell. Although generalising people is not right, then again who would want to take a chance? Even when I lived in the US and attended Bangladesh conventions, concerts, and other programs, I used to take a deep breath and hold it in as long as possible in the elevator when I would see Bangladeshi artists taking the elevator with me. Dear Editor, it is a serious matter, I hope you understand.A few simple cautions can improve their image: first of all use an anti-perspirant and deodorant. Deodorants only attempt to conceal the odour, but an anti-perspirant will stop the sweat completely. These are widely available in Bangladesh and even local companies are manufacturing them. Secondly, keep clothing well away from the cooking area and have them dry cleaned or washed regularly. Finally, do not spray cologne or perfume on dirty clothes. It makes them smell worse. Perfume and cologne should only be sprayed or used on the body. Even in years past Mahatma Gandhi and both of my grandfathers used natural remedies to stop odours.
