But I don't think she was that fair. Still appears a shade darker than Kareena. Also, unlike NNM, women are rewarded for being fair, unlike men, for whom being too fair could be a curse.

Her struggle is unfortunate, but... I don't think she couldn't make it because of her skin tone. She just couldn't make it for whatsoever reason, but she had to rationalize it so she put it on her complexion.

Too fair & lonely. Or Pale & toughly.

I hope this stereotype changes. There are some fabulous actors in both India and Pakistan (haven't seen Bangladeshi cinema/tv yet) who would do wonders abroad if they wanted to.

But then Preity has recently been cast as the lead alongside Veer Das in an American show. She is quite fair as per Indian standards...so maybe this stereotype may change soon.

Even Aish wasnt dark skinned. I think Hollywood is more welcoming to women of other ethnicities cos they are considered exotic while for men its the opposite

Yeah thats true. Also I think whites love having our complexion and get spray tans to attain that while here everyone is getting fairness injections.

They age terribly too compared to other races

I think we should recognize that even fair skinned people.... thin people.... flat chested people get judged too. It’s not only the thick and dark

Fair, Skinny, & Tall is the beauty standard almost all across the world. If people start crying for being the beauty standard, what should the rest of the world do?

On topic, the racial profiling in HW is disgusting. Hollywood barely gives big characters to brown or Asians as it is. Most top actors are either White or Black. How many brown characters did you see in Avengers or any big franchise films?! They like to act like the colors in between black and white don't exist.

Yes true. Lack of melanin does that. The irony is that one of the reasons they get spray tans is to hide their age (face lines etc) but that speeds up ageing.
