Huh? What does skin whitening have to do with Michael Jackson. The guy suffered from vitiligo. It's a disease where you get dark and white patches all over your body. ITS NOT SKIN WHITENING. He used light makeup to hide his disease. Infact,he was extremely proud of being a black man and the most successful one in the world.

And actresses are obsessed with fair skin because the post colonial world has made Indians obsessed with being fair as they associate it to being beautiful. Eurocentric beauty standards.

It's the same way the west is obsessed with tanning since the 'exotic' look is now in. Look at Ariana Grande,the Kardashians,most white people today.

I feel bad for Nysa but I understand why she did it. One look at the kind of comments she has got over these years and you can completely get why she went for skin lightening. She's just a kid :(

Sorry. I hear this thing about color obsession being a post colonial thing. Ain't true. While we might have a Krishna and an Arjun and a Panchali in Mahabharata who are stated to be dusky, the epics and puranas have plenty of examples of fair skinned women described as beauties while the dark skinned are termed demons etc.

Even in Africa, there is preferential treatment of lighter dark skin from what I read.

Pick other Asian countries, you'll see the same.

This is a world wide phenomenon

Its definitely true. While discrimination might have existed partly, the Colonization mimicry and hybridism is an actual phenomenon that has happened in every colonized nation and has propelled the beauty industry to cater to a specific need in these nations. Ofcourse its a world wide phenomenon because most of the world was colonized including Africa. Infact it was one of the most colonized places in the world that till this day, so many countries have not been able to culturally and economically replenish themselves. What you will see in most African writers' works is the loss of identity the black person felt when biracial population grew. They saw themselves inferior to them and the biracial population while culturally shunned by the natives received social and economic handouts as superiors.

The girl next to her is very pretty. Without nepotism, the best role Nysa can get is maid’s role.

What's Ur point ? It appalling to see people using the words like she looks like Kamwali Bai (as if a maid cannot be pretty) and She will get a maid's role 🤢👎🏼

Swara Bhaskar played a maid's role in nil battery sannata and received a lot of critical praise for her perfomance and award.

I am not insulting maid. My maid is prettier than many BW actresses but in most BW movies and TV, maids are shown unattractive. It depends on the movies. If the maid is playing a lead role, then obviously they will be pretty but if they do role for 2 minutes, then they would obviously be very average looking. Not just maids, actors actresses friends will be looking average because no producers will cast a supporting role actors actresses prettier than the main leads because then the attention will go to the supporting role actors actresses.

India is perhaps the only colonized country/region that has maintained its culture and roots despite a spending 1000 years as a colony of the invaders. It's another thing that Muslim colonizers assimilated themselves into India. And, the fact that British colonization is much more recent.

You still see how English-speaking is fashionable in India. It's still a status symbol. If we had someone like Bong Joon-ho speaking in Hindi at the Oscars, they'd be mocked by posh Bollywood circles. That's the Indian mentality.

In Africa, native culture has almost been demolished and has been replaced by Evangelical Christianity. Even in Africa, the fairer blacks are more highly thought of than the native blacks. It's all a product of colonization. The hard colonies don't exist anymore, but soft colonies still do and India is one of them.

You look at a movie like Gully Boy that was sent to the Oscars this year. Should it have been sent? Nope. Tumbbad should have been. But Gully Boy was more fashionable. It's also another thing that Gully Boy garnered more eyeballs than Tumbbad.

Films in India were initiated by the upper classes; the people who were in the good books of East India Company. That's why even today Bollywood looks to the West for validity. It's in-built now. The slavery mindset runs really deep.

To see an accomplished actress like Kajol white-wash herself quite literally is a sad reflection of where we stand. It's sad really. Dusky actresses like Swara Bhaskar and Radhika Apte are legitimately more beautiful than the likes of Jhanvi, Sara, and Ananya. But those actors find themselves in the fringes despite being better actors.

Alia is your typical girl next door. But you find her mom brag about her being a Slavic beauty. Like really? Nobody talks about Konkona being a Bong beauty. As much as I like Katrina, if she weren't white, say she were Lupita Nyong'o, she'd have been ridiculed in India and not just by the masses, but elite Bollywood circles themselves.

Bollywood is a very racist and sexist place. But nothing tops Bollywood in their obsession with white skin and the white race.

How many dark skinned actors have made it as a lead any way? Ajay, Rajkumar Rao, Vicky? Whilst tall, dark, and handsome seems to be the gold standard worldwide, in India, it's tall, fair, and regular. Beauty and sexual appeal comes after fairness in India. It's a bonus.

I've never seen a country and its power industries be as ashamed for being themselves as India/Indians are. If Gal Gadot speaks in broken English, it's cute. If an Indian does so, they become a joke. But when a white speaks broken Hindi, it's again cute.

Weird.

I agree with everything. Not only in Bollywood it really covers all aspects of our society. So many weirdos take pride in not really knowing their own mother tongue well here and just conversing in English. While I do understand and agree that knowing English is highly advantageous in every field today, its should never be a criteria that makes or breaks someone's confidence/career and makes them a butt of jokes to their own countrymen.

You see South Korea who got their independence the same day we did and the way they take cultural pride in their language is amazing to me. There you get praised if you know English but it never makes or breaks your career and you won't find a single Korean ashamed that another doesn't know English or isn't fluent. They take pride in language,a thing that actually matters.

While we are stuck in perpetual pseudo nationalism while making fun of our own citizens who are more comfortable in their mother tongue. It's always the 'what would white people think about us if we can't speak English properly?' mindset. Always colonizer pleasing.

people are targeting Nysa and suhana here, they both are very pretty

neither Kajol or Karisma were considered pretty when they started and both are stunning in all their movies

EWW. I've seen better-looking woman than her. She's literally the definition of FUGLY.

She must be visiting her moms doctor 🤡

I see no change in Nysa's skin tone. She looks as typical as she always does.
