Do Indian main leads not look Indian? - Page 4

Whats with the racistic mentality, if anyone is extra pretty, gorgeous or handsome, they must be European or middle eastern. Because, Indians are supposed to be brown and ugly, aren't they? Its appalling to consider anyone lightskinned and beautiful to be Indian. So the conclusion goes - yup some other ethnicity👏

I feel you just vented out a lot of your own thoughts.

Most of the Khans and North Indians look Central Asian/Middle Eastern/ Mediterranean.

All Khans look Indian/South Asian..who do you mean when you say North Indian? Most definitely look South Asian.. very small minority may pass for other race but its a stretch..

yep!! its so sad to see posters here who act all sanctimonious in one thread say related to skin colour and bleaching and fair and lovely...and then in other threads totally show their internalised skin tone biases

Punju Khatris dominate the industry and we all know they are very fair they have that European features ..but for me they look Indians even when their origin is in Pakistan. Alexander the Great and his men stayed in that area of Potohar... I read something about it on youtube.

Kareena and karishma are mixed with British not sure which side had white mixed but they still look Indian to me. Aish and hrithik have an international look to them especially hrithik

👏

Did anyone say Indians are not beautiful? No one said any of these actors are extra pretty or gorgeous.

The question was so simple and straight. Do Indian main leads not look Indian? How did you assume all these things like racism, light-skinned, and good looks from a simple question like that?

Like someone else said before, I feel like you are venting out your own thoughts and feelings on the subject matter.

It is rather Hollywood who chooses the most average looking Indians to play Indian characters. Bollywood heroes and heroines come in all kinds -with fairness and a fit body being the only criterion. And yes, our leading men and women have always looked towards the West for styling and fashion from the days of Dev Anand itself.

Yeah even my friends say that the khans are 1 of the most Indian looking (whatever there definition is) stars in Bollywood. Tho I think they have Afghanistani roots
