wont be accepted. I dont think a proper African person would be accepted speically as a heroine in this industry

Kajol is very dark . One of my cousin had seen her in hospital with no makeup , she is really dark , even rani , deepika are dark . I dont think color matters . So many whites are mere used a back dancers in movies . Or a sundry charecters in a movie . Does anybody remember the guy who played katrinas love intrest in nsmaste london . He was good looking . But no chance in bollywood.

But onscreen Kajol doesnt appear to be dark... MakeUp, Light affect and all... She seems to have a fine skin!

No!

India as in country prefer woman to be white or in better words light skinned! African people, first are not Indian looking so chances of them being accepted is really less and second they are dark, if they agree to undergo huge transition, applying white makeup in tons then MAYBE they can be accepted

And likewise, India prefers man who are dark skinned or have medium complexion (my bad luck )

There are actors like Neil Nitin Mukesh, and Shashi Kapoor's son who tried their hand in acting but failed to charm audience...
