No one said that. Tripthi doesn't need her money. But she needs justice done to her talent.
Sonam is a veteran ...sorry for the joke hahaha sonam is trash when it comes to acting. Shes anil kapoors daughter and has already done a few films to torture the audience with her acting. So her friends are helping her.
While Tripti is tooooooo new. She has not god father...but only her brilliant talent and beauty. Who cares about that.Huh!?
We are interested in seeing trash acting and waste our money and effort on people who are stupid and rich with star power. Can someone please tell sonam to shut up her annoying voice is hurting my ear..
I'm sorry that you went through so much because of your skin tone, colorism is definitely a problem in most places, the bias towards fair skin is so strong. Dusky skin is so beautiful, it has a different glow to it and the melanin brown skin is just gorgeous. I don't think grumpydwarf's intention was to be colorist as people in general think stuff like hyperpigmentation, dark circles, blemishes etc are flaws because the ideal skin is considered as "smooth", that is the beauty standard unfortunately but there's fair girls also who suffer from discoloration or pigmentation although I can see that the fairer girls would be given more leeway in terms of flaws.Originally posted by: fruitshake
After having casual taunts about my dusky skin color all my life without them realizing they were being colorist, I have known better that the systems and orthodox practices working around in India have conditioned people to unconsciously partake in this regressive act. There is no point in blaming people as they themselves do not realize their casual colorism.
I hope in near future general people will raise voice towards dismantling colorism when they certainly have stake in and directly perpetuate it.
But there is definitely also an underlying bias people have that fair skinned heroines are supposed to look better without makeup than others. Like Deepika's makeup free pics were posted a lot on the forum to call her as ugly although she looks great without makeup too, that is definitely wrong and people probably don't realize it and it happens unconsciously that they tend to favor fairer skinned people because of the conditioning by society that fair is supposed to be the "only" beautiful.

Again I can recall plenty times people called Katrina fair as a ghost without makeup. Does that make them colorist? Is actually considered common in the USA for paler girls to need more makeup because they need color. And no one of the prettiest people I have seen without makeup is Halle Barry. I can name more African American women who look ten times better without makeup than Caucasian actresses.
If I remember correctly Katrina, Kareena are called as the best looking heroines without makeup in general. But yeah if there's people who called her a ghost without makeup that's rude as hellOriginally posted by: grumpydwarf

Compare these. In no way is being a natural beauty synonymous with fair skin. Not saying Katie looked bad. But Halle looks better.
Halle Berry is a stunner!Originally posted by: grumpydwarf
