Its not just makeup , even lighting does make them look fair. And its just not telle world or bollywood . But even I south film industry be it tollywood , mollywood or sandalwood. They get northindian fair actress instead of there reginional women . Atleast in bollywood and tv industry , we have boys and girls who are so diverse in there region . Than just signing on ghar ki punjabi kudi ...

In every serial of Star Plus they whitewash actors to an extreme level. I was astonished to see an interview of a TV actor in youtube. He is super brown but he looks extremely fair in Star plus serial. Another day I was watching news show about serials. They were showing that in editing table the actors get 'whitewashed'.

I don't get what's the problem of showing brown. Why it needs to be whitewashed? 😡

Excuse me have you seen him in real life i guess not he is naturally fair 😊

In shows they use different lighting and makeup so don't be that shocked

You can whitewash the face but how can you whitewash the whole body? Do you have an answer?😆😆
