Since the beginning of time, India has been obsessed with fair skin and movies and TV haven’t really helped with their ‘gori gori ladki’ and Fair And Lovely obsession. With tons of mainstream actors and actresses going in for skin lightening treatments and photoshopping their faces to look fair (Read: Deepika Padukone for Garnier), the masses have no choice but to follow the ‘Fair is lovely’ principle.
Being a mainstream celebrity in a country that’s fairness-obsessed is NOT easy at all and most of them succumb to the pressure and fall prey to the “fairness-fever” by going undergoing surgeries- be it using brushes or knives. But there are others who are extremely proud of their own skin and very confident of with their dusky hues. Such people aren’t celebrated enough, which is why we’ve compiled a list of actresses who have proved that dusky women are as gorgeous as fair-skinned women!
