It has been a common thing seeing Bollywood actresses promoting and using fairness creams in the past. However, in recent years, there have been strong discussions about self-love and acceptance which have made people and celebs double think about various trends. Priyanka Chopra is also an actress who has been using fairness products in the past. But the international actress regrets doing it now.
Priyanka whose latest Netflix film The White Tiger is has received wide acclaim recently opened up about the same.
In a conversation with Marie Claire for her feature, Priyanka Chopra said, “(Skin lightening) was so normalized in South Asia; it’s such a large industry that everyone was doing it. In fact, doing it is still a check (mark) when you are a female actor, but it’s awful. And it was awful for me, for a little girl who used to put talcum-powder cream on my face because I believed that dark skin was not pretty.”
