I see it everywhere, make one passing comment about skin being dark or whatever then Auntyjis and other desi females totally overreact. Lets just be happy with the way we look.
If someone had compared say Fardeen Khan and Kareena Kapoor's kid being too "gora", no one would have cared, there wouldn't have been big HOO HAH about it.
Nahi, yaar... the problem is that darker skin tone is seen as a not so pretty thing in our society. And those who have a fair skin, think it's their "kamal". Not only that, they even look down at others with darker skin tone. That's SO not right.
To be very honest, it's only in our society that we have inferiority complexes cuz of our COMPLEXION. In Europe, people wish to have a darker skin tone, but that's not the ONLY thing on their mind and they're not obsessed with it unlike us.
