Ok I've seen Aishu in her "nautural" look and she has very fair skin, so I don't understand why they have to lighten and make it look white!

I know the photographer was going for that old HW or Victorian look, but her skin is pretty white, but her eye color makes her look more European than Indian...so there was no need to make her look even more whiter!

Bottom LINE: Everyone should feel happy in their skin, we're all beautiful in our own way and fair skin isn't anymore beautiful than dark skin!

some of the fairness and "skin whitening" ads are hilarous....its like, the girl is a sweet, cute, educated girl-next door, but she dosent get a job, or have a boyfriend b4 she uses this particular cream/soap...and then volia...she comes out all fashionable and caked with make-up and gets everything she wants....😆...

and the transformation they show....over the 8 or 6 weeks....the same face being photo shopped to look brighter every week...and oh..the girl is all depressed in the first week, but hey...shes smiling in the last one coz shes finally fair...🤣...seriously who makes these ads...

its ads like these which give unnecessary complexes to perfectly fine looking young girls.....stupid stupid stuff..

Din't know this issue still played in India .. 😆
Well I am very fair, but my Family is even fairer than me 😆 ....
And I've never considered myself better or prettier than other people because of their skincolor ..
I mean yeah ofcourse skincolor matters but that's not the only thing ... Facial features matter as well..
For example; Deepika & Priyanka .. both are dark but really pretty !
