I guess with Indian actresses, we've seen more success with the lighter ones, so it's hard to think that someone dark could also have the same success because this desire for light skin is pervasive throughout our culture. Ads show those fairness creams, the celebs are whitewashed in the mags, and all of the celebs in the films are blasted with light so they "glow". That's why I'm looking forward to her singing "career" attempt in Hollywood...in a world of Gaga's and Nicki Minaj's, who cares if PC's brown? 😆

I too feel disgusted after reading this...that are total biased statements about skin tones 😡...anger and disappointment !

every colour has its own beauty. People who think like that needs to consult a psychiatrist.

This whole white dark thing is a typical product of british colonialism.

No where in the Indian literature and scriptures u will find gora chittas being praised alone . Draupadi was dark, her name was krishna. Lord K, Lord R, lord V are all blue or dark.

When kalidas describes the beauty of parvati in kumar samvab, he describes her as shyama which is tanned, dark.

Anyways, Indian culture never discriminated dark and fair . There are darker gods and goddesses, there are fairer and all are equally praised.

However the reason most people in India prefer whiter girls is nothing coz of discriminations, its typical human., Always wanting what is not. My parents are gora chitta, as a result me and my sister r super gories and both of us hate our skin tone and wish we were a bit more tanned.😆
