I came across a rather interesting fact. We all know that Krishna and Draupadi were dark skinned and hence were called Krishna, but guess what! Arjuna was called Krishna by Pandu because he was dark skinned too!
I was pretty surprised when I read this one.

Arjuna said, "...And Krishna, my tenth appellation, was given to me by my father out of affection towards his black-skinned boy of great purity."

That's the interesting part. In ancient India, dark was considered more beautiful. The British invasion changed the perception of beauty in our country forever. Even SP has cast three very fair people for the roles of the three Krishnaas

Actually Pooja Sharma is quite dusky, if not dark.
She appeared to be fair, in the first few episodes, due to lots of makeup.
But actually she's dusky.
