Well... I blame 'aam jantha' in the first place.. These companies are just profiting on our weaknesses by encouraging our insecurities through their misleading ads. Just go back home with 2 layers of tan and our own people will tell us how 'ugly' we have become. 😕
JUST TOO TRUE!
I remember coming back from a Univ sponsored snow-line trek,bursting to tell about the beauty I'd seen AND my accomplishments.Nobody was interested in THAT--I was summarily packed off to beauty parlor boot camp to get rid of the ugly tan,on grounds no-man-will-even-LOOK-at-you. I,now have a son who is Caucasian white & a daughter who has the normal Indian complexion.My mother has NO qualms in clucking sadly,in front of both of them"Tsk,tsk If only she was as fair as him--too bad the girl is so dark"
Punjabi relatives are really the pits with their obsession with fair skin--no special offense meant to Punjabis--I am one myself!
