People are trolling him because it's fashionable to bash Uday and his type but praise Abhay, Rahul Khanna, Ranbir and their ilk.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. People are always complaining when celebrities don't speak out, they are bashed for their dishonesty when giving statements, and here a celebrity speaks out and is deadly honest, and he is bashed for his honesty. You all are never happy.

I support Abhay 100%. India's obsession with fairness is so bad that my white professor in Canada - who is a well respected man with a PhD - spent some time talking about it in class, and so randomly too...wasn't really a part of the syllabus. If people like him can realize the problem and address it, then there really must be something there no? Keep doing you Abhay!

I think people are confusing the issue here

Its not abt regular girls and boys using fairness products to become whiter or whatever...its their personal choice

Its every woman's or man's right to use whatever products they want to enhance their looks or personality if they believe they need it.

But its the CON GAME, the SCAM by the companies selling these products when they hire stars to endorse these products, when the ads say that using these products will make you more successful in life, will make you like that star, will make u so attractive u will have thousands of admirers like that star...THAT IS A CON, That is fooling people into buying with FALSE PROMISES and THAT is what is OBJECTIONABLE!

Sell whatever beauty or fairness products you want to, but dont CON people into believing those products will make them more successful or get married or whatever Lies you want to sell.

While I agree that the bias against dark skin is supremely demeaning but so is the bias against facial features. Huge nose, small eyes, small lips are seens as ugly features.
If skin color is something that we don't have any control over, so are our features. We don't choose our features. So that's also discrimination.
In short, the whole concept of a certain type of beauty is flawed. If you judge someone based on skin color or features, that's wrong.

what features we find attractive/appealing or unattractive/unappealing in another person isn't something which we 'decide' or 'choose' to do.. it is an involuntary natural instinct .. and that largely determines one's own definition of beauty .. you cannot just kill these natural instincts for the fear of being deemed a racist or a superficial human being .. that would be wrong .. it is like asking a gay person to be a straight person & vice versa - its just not possible & it doesnt need to be that way either .. there is nothing wrong with having a 'preference' .. if someone prefers black or brown girls over white or vice versa - it is just a preference , putting a different spin on it will only complicate things unnecessarily..
