what has color got to do with anything..besides I am sure the number of fans demanding RagNa far outnumber the ones demanding Ashish-Shirina coz of color..didnt they turn Pakhi negative for the same reason...coz Ra..khi didnt work
So how does firing Rachna now make sense
besides Asha from what I have seen in pics and lil bit on screen isnt as fair as Shirni..so will ppl have probllem again and they will replace her again
How dumb
I didn't say that the channel or PH got rid of her because of her color.
I am saying that skin color does matter in that, it is noticeable when there's a dark actress (or even actors) on television, film or media. Now you are taking a dark skinned actress and replacing her with a lighter skinned actress. If you want to say she's not light-skinned and is a bit dusky, that's fine. But she's not dark like Rachna either, or even close to dark like Rachna. Now I am not saying they deliberately said, she's dark, let's get rid of her and bring in a lighter actress. But such actions will always be noticed by people. Because the industry as a whole is not favorable to dark skin and more favorable to light skin. That's the standard of beauty. And you get rid of one of the noticeable dark skinned actresses only to bring in another light skinned actress.
The same way people raise voices or point to similar issues in Hollywood. But only thing is, within in India no one bothers to really make as big noise.
