LONDON: Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is fuming over Elle magazine cover "skin-whitening" scandal, reveal her pals. Fans of the actress were left stunned last week after her skin appeared to have been digitally lightened on the cover of the magazine's new issue.
According to friends, the 37-year-old Bollywood star, who is widely believed to be the world's most beautiful woman, is said to be considering suing the Indian version of the title over what has been deemed "racist airbrushing".
The actress has not commented on the situation, but friends of the "Bride and Prejudice" star have said she is furious. "Aishwarya's first reaction was disbelief," the Daily Mail quoted one of her pal as saying. "She believed that these things don't happen anymore. Not in this day and age when women are recognized for their merit, and not for their skin colour," a friend said.

😲 her pic in the cover mag does not look at all like her skin has been lightened!! Unless Aish is a few shades darker! In that case she should be suing all the mags since they all seem to look airbrushed!!
