Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan on Tuesday shared screenshots of messages and comments criticising her complexion.
She took to her Instagram and shared the message. She said that it’s sad as Indians were brown by default, and ‘hating on your own people just means that you are painfully insecure’.
Suhana further wrote, “There’s a lot going on right now and this is one of the issues we need to fix!! this isn’t just about me, it’s about every young girl/boy who has grown up feeling inferior for absolutely no reason. Here are just a few of the comments made about my appearance. I’ve been told I’m ugly because of my skin tone, by full-grown men and women, since I was 12 years old.”
“Other than the fact that these are actual adults, what’s sad is that we are all Indian, which automatically makes us brown – yes we come in different shades but no matter how much you try to distance yourself from the melanin, you just can’t. Hating on your own people just means that you are painfully insecure,” she added.
She denied the allegations of doing skin lightening and said she never would. She further said, “I’m sorry if social media, Indian matchmaking, or even your own families have convinced you that if you’re not 5”7 and fair you’re not beautiful. I hope it helps to know that I’m 5”3 and brown and I am extremely happy about it and you should be too. #endcolourism.”
