From SRK To Deepika, Abhay Deol Trashed Every Bollywood Celeb Endorsing Fairness Creams

There are a lot of problems that plague the progress India is trying to make, but out of all the demographics, our obsession with ‘fair’ skin and its supremacy over others has fetched us far away from development. In fact, unfortunately, the only growth over the years has been marked by the rising number of fairness products that feeds on insecurities and sells ways to become ‘lovely’.

But, like they say, ‘Rome was not built in a day’ and collective efforts can break mountains. Today, we have a few champions of colour who are putting their foot down and discouraging the brand-made idea of ‘beauty’. Now, Abhay Deol has joined the bandwagon and his words drive the point home! 

Abhay Deol recently took to Facebook to post his views about these fairness creams. But it wasn’t only worded, he took digs at his colleagues from Bollywood, including names like Shah Rukh, Shahid and more.

1. ‘WE ARE NOT A RACIST COUNTRY’

 

2.’WHITE BEAUTY’

 

3. ‘HOW TRUE IS YOUR FAIRNESS?’

 

4. Stay away from the sun?

 

5. ‘Patriotic Cream!’

 

6. Everything ‘fair’ and everything ‘lovely’ 

 

7. Pearl white glow, anyone? 

 

8. Be a MAN!

 

9. BLACK

 

Abhay also posted another thought-provoking piece and it goes to complement every word aforementioned. 

Really? How long will we let these products disillusion us? How long before we say, NO?
