nandita dasYour Vote : Fairness creams should be banned or not?
A dusky skinned girl is looking at the mirror with tears on her eyes after being "rejected" by a "boy" and "his" family. Parents of the girl are discussing how to get an alliance for their dark skinned daughter, then the girl applies some fairness cream & all of a sudden turns into a very fair girl, who is now more confident, smiles everywhere and her marriage takes place. Other "dark" girls look at her and feels jealous! Have been told to suit a particular character, I will have to look fair - Nandita Das
What do all the top notch heroines of Bollywood have in common? Think Kareena, Aishwarya, Katrina, Deepika, Anushka, and so on & on...they all have flawless 'fair' skin. Apparently, they are perfect to play the rich, smart girls that bollywood likes to portray many a time. Do you need to look fair to play a rich girl? Nandita Das certainly thinks so.
