I'm getting sick of this. All these actresses and actors that support skin lightening products and the idea of colour bias lack integrity.
I watch american and british beauty gurus who are of indian descent who have reviewed and bashed even indian makeup brands like lakme for only stocking very light skin tone shade foundations despite majority of indians being of medium to deep skin tones.
It's like india, pakistan and other south asian countries have become completely delusional into believing ''real'' south asians are mostly meant to be fair, and the ones who are dark are just from poor families. Like get a reality check.
Skin colour has nothing to do with wealth as you can be born rich or poor and still be fair or dark, and it doesn't matter whether you tan in the sun or not, you can't alter your natural skin tone. I hate how they act like people who are well-off/ wealthy are of lighter skin tones because they don't work in the sun doing labour intensive jobs and only poor indians who work in the sun are dark. That's rubbish! As if dark skin tone people aren't born into families of wealth.
Members of the ambani family are of deeper skin tones too, but i've noticed that they are married to lighter skin toned women, so their children have more medium skin tone. Wealthier people are more skin colour obsessed so marry their children to lighter skin toned people for fairer children.
That's the only reason why the wealthy and well-educated section of india are less darker, because of choosing brides and grooms on the basis of colour to get fair children, they can afford treatment and skin care to lighten the skin, and work in doors so don't tan as much, other wise a person's wealth doesn't determine what skin colour a person has from birth. Even those wealthier people with medium/ deep skin can't alter their skin tone unless they spend their money on treatments to lighten the skin permanently, which are expensive, but even then that doesn't change the fact they are of medium/ deep skin tone from birth and only used their money to gain access to expensive treatments to alter their skin.
