After fully reading “Sexy,” I feel there is an interesting
stress on perceived beauty. This idea of perceived beauty can be best seen
through Dev’s wife. Miranda goes to an Indian grocery store to try and look up
Madhuri Dixit, the Bombay actress Dev said his wife resembles. Though she never
actually sees her, Miranda assumes she is beautiful based on the actresses she
saw. Yet in the first scene we meet Dev, he is buying multiple beauty products like
renewal drops and face creams. What Dev buys may suggest that his wife is not
as beautiful as the Bombay actresses but Miranda only sees the beautiful
actress.
