i was lookin at the episode a couple days ago and i must say that issue where nikkat is constantly reminded about her complexion is a very insultive, degrading and hurtful to poeple, i know its realitiy issue, but i find that story line in poor taste, people are offened wen they are judged based on their dark skin, my friend does not look at QH cuz of this, she doesnt hate the show or anytihig but she jus find that whole thing degrading.. btw there are dark skin people who are really much more attractive than fair skin so dont get me wrong.. i know its only a show but its a sensitive topic, besides we need to show and promote positive out of this... back to the show nikkat is a pretty, decent girl and would be a good wife and daughter in law and her future mother in law who may be fair,is a pig/ monkey!.. her son is not the inmocent star he project ,,ok so it was his past with a witchy cat.. but why poeple are so prejudiced to such trivial matters, some people are so poor judge of character its shameful... btw bollywood has been a main cuplrit in this matter also, check dark skin people harldly gets a break on screen... just a mere few,,sorry so long but i had this my mind. what say ye?..

The whole haseena-nikhat thing gets on my nerves. They better make Nikhat break her marriage and give it back to Haseena!!

and straighten her out, would love to see he fights and defends his other sister...

Yeah I agree with you, but this is the reality in life.within south asian families colour skin is a HUGE deal, its ridiculous how much of a big deal is made out of colour skin...! Also bollywood, most of the stars are dark skinned...! In fact 80 percent are, its jus makeup that makes them light, SRK, kajol, deepika, priyanka, rani, bipasha, Lara, to name a few are all dark skinned. So you can't say skin colour puts a barrier on getting a big break, its about talent and not skin color...

i disagree, as i said its only a few, do you know why some of them got a break cuz they have connections in the industry and cuz some of them managed to be winners of a so called beauty show, which in my opinion is pure crap!!. beauty lies in the heart and it cannot be bought nor does it dies out like the so call physical beauty.. do you know what the population of india is? its about 5 billions and chekc thrroughout histroy of this industry how many really been promoted.. what u have mention makes is no comparison to the reality or the truth... is u disagree u are free to do so i stand by my comments...

Every time the dark skin topic comes up, it really gets on my nerves. I wish Haseena was in front of me so I can slap her. After this Razia-Haseena track is over, hopefully Nikhat kicks Haseena and Imran out of her life forever.

I don't really like this topic being discussed so much in the show. They've raised the issue, and it does happen in real life, but shouldn't they also try to portray a different view?

I for one think that Archana Taide who plays Nikhat is gorgeous MashaAllah.
She has this elegance, and her features are great.
Part of the appeal for me is that she isn't fair, not because I have anything against fair people, but because for once we have someone who is dark-skinned and we aren't being forced this view that only fair is attractive. So many Asians aren't fair, and it's time people stop being so pathetic and stop focusing on skin colour.
