Uday Chopra speaks on fairness creams - Page 3

What an utter idiot. He goes to the Varun Dhawan School of Learning.

Uday bhaiyya agar shakal achi nhi baat toh achi kar liya karo 😆 just shows how ignorant he is plus he himself seems to have self esteem issues that's why he feels it's okay to resort to such products to make himself feel better and confident plus support a 20 billion dollar industry. But nobody told him that confidence comes from inside you the way you speak, the way you carry yourself, the way you think not from your skin color otherwise Beyonce wouldn't have been the most beautiful woman or even PC for that matter. If he isn't gonna change his attitude no amount of light skin will make him attractive or gain self esteem 😆

Anyways I found this amazing article and video about this issue would maybe shed some light into his ignorant head http://www.storypick.com/fairness-cream-facade/

Hair dying and skin lightening are similar in the sense that both are about looking more Caucasian or mixed-race. Both are considered more beautiful than what the average Indian has - brown skin, dark eyes and dark hair. Wherever those standards came from, at the end of the day, you still can't demand that people change what they find attractive. Nobody is entitled to be considered beautiful.

Preferences aren't easily changeable and everyone is allowed to marry and be with the type of person they want to be with. People get "rejected" for lots of things - skin color, height, facial features, weight, family wealth and most of those things are not in our control. Everyone wants to be with those they find attractive - that is a the bedrock of romantic relationships.

Even in the western world, without arranged marriages, people considered less attractive get rejected by potential partners all the time. It's a normal fact of life. Do you think a guy that's 5 feet 2 inches has girls lined up at his door? Women are known for being brutal towards short men and "reject" them all the time. That applies to all features for everyone - we all like what we like.

Instead of making demands about how such and such should be considered beautiful, it's better to remove so much focus from beauty itself. Guess what? Everyone is not beautiful and that's okay. Improve yourself in other ways - be a kinder person, spend more time learning, have a brighter warmer personality, etc.

Beauty is not the end all and be all in life. Everyone is not beautiful and will not be considered beautiful regardless of how prejudiced and racist you want to call people who don't like what you want them to like. But that's okay because we should be concentrating on teaching people that there is more to life.

Rasgullah does racism against besan ka laddo

Then there are class issues with barfi elite and rich than wet rasgulalhs

Then differences in orientations with jaleebi and imarti treated as not traditional

Religious differences are there with some mithai like moti chor ke laddo etc choice of particular religion

Ethnic differneces with multan ka halwaa vs rasgullah ..fight between punjabis and bengalis

Hippo is beyond these things. He treats them equally and would like to eat them all. Problem is Hippo cannot eat sweets because of his sexiness and to maintain it.

Point is world is a messed place these days.. really going down the drain and I am not just saying it for sake of it. People really need to step back and reduce hate in them for others. Treat others as human and not put label white black etc.

On topic:

He and his brother should try plastic surgery for their ugly mugs before talking about anything beauty related. 😡

What bothers me the most about this entire debate- though the actual point is something worth talking about and debunking- is that it has turned into an ego battle between these celebrities.
First Abhay opting to prove his point by slamming other celebs, then Sonam aggravating it by bringing up an old ad of Esha into question and now Uday's ignorant remarks.
All of them just digressing and overlooking what is important.
No wonder they cannot take hold of their careers since they are incapable of engaging in some healthy discussion.

Hair colour ads are not marketed in a way that shows that a person is less attractive in their own natural hair colour. People are not made to feel insecure because of their hair colour. People with grey hair also are not largely pressurized to colour their hair because it is acceptable that it is natural for your hair to turn grey as you age. It is a different thing that people prefer looking young to looking old. But everybody ages with time so it is not discriminatory to a particular group.

Fairness creams ads however, blatantly show that people with dark skin are unappealing. This absolutely does not help in an environment where it is instilled in the psyche of people from a very young age that fair skin is more beautiful, should be preferable to dark skin. Such ads coupled with a general attitude of dislike towards having dark skin among the people can develop a feeling of shame/hatred for one's own natural skin colour; skin colour, which is one of the major physical attributes of any person. People become uncomfortable in their own skin. This is sad.

This is why the argument of personal preference is not justified in this case.

That's a good point.
But just want to add (not related to Uday's stupid analogy) that these anti-aging ads are no better. Millenials do not consider aging as 'graceful' anymore. There's so much pressure to look as young and youthful as possible. And the target again is women. Older men would want to marry younger women if they ever remarry. Though, I do not want to generalize.
Recently Courtney Cox came out and spoke about her struggle with aging, and how she thought she NEEDED to look young using botox etc because of the discriminatory behavior people subject you to.

LMAO. Fairness cream racist? 😆 Kuch bhi. People have got to stop pretending they are white liberals be happy in their own culture and skin. This wannabe white-ism and faux SJW-ism is downright pathetic.

^ 100%.

And the following too:

Indians are racist whether you accept it or not. They are obsessed with white. This explains our fascination for firangs while at the same time attacking African nationals living in different parts of the country and looking at them with suspicion. 🤢

Agreed. Randeep Hooda was right when he called it a colonial hangover.

Indians are unceccesarily obsessed with white skin and everything white. The colonial system left India only physically. It remains very much alive in the mindsets of Indians.
