ok guys for the last time I wanted to say that one of the main reasons some one like Kat is so widely accepted by our audience is that she is fair-skinned. That is what I meant to say.

Phew

Just because people pick on dark skinned people, doesn't mean you guys pick on fair skinned. And Indians aren't the only ones who watch bollywood movies. So you are saying all people are obsessed with fair skin?

I'm sorry to say this and dont mind if I get a warning but I dont think you have the experience to understand a serious issue like this. There are bigger things in life than Kat.

My point was in India actress with fair skin are more popular and more widely accepted so much so that audience are ready to over look their lack of acting skills. Thats my opinion, you dont have to agree. But then dont make the overall issue related to skin colour sound like a forum gossip thing.

And this time Im seriously out, as this is an issue thats very sensitive to me.

If so, then how are actresses like Priyanka, Rani, Kajol, Deepika so famous?

what are u talking PC and deepika dont have lineage?

pc jumped into bollywood with her miss world tag in hand..and all those girls who were miss indias those days jumped in with their tags


deepika is prakash padukone's daughter..she had a bigtime stint with modelling and everything

i would say the malaika arora khan is self made inspite of being dark


skin color is a big issue..ive been in southern india all my life...eexcept the last 3 years..they wouldnt even give u the mike in a stage if u are not nice-looking enough

i had to tell them off how white skin obsessed hey were..the girl who handled was fair but useless with mikes but she was called repeatedly while the good ones were ignored

but that is not what makes her movies work....!

otherwise, they'll just take diya mirza... who supposedly (not my opinion, but i've heard, hence supposedly...) is prettier, younger, not an ice-maiden and acts better.... 😉😛😛

Aww Priyanka dont be upset. .😆

Just like there's discrimination on the basis of fair skin to play certain popular characters, there's also reverse discrimination when it comes to serious, performance oriented roles. Average lookers did make a space for themselves doing serious cinema and often regarded as good actors whereas the pretty/fair faces are called plastic, expressionless and whatnot. You can't escape criticism either way. In the end, if you have talent and heaps of luck, nothing matters.
