This isn’t the first time a Bollywood celeb has faced racism. Here are their accounts:
Sonam Kapoor has also spoken about having faced racism. “They see brown skin and they judge you already. When I go abroad people already have their perception, like we are always in parda or our parents are very conservative,” she once said, according to PTI.
Priyanka Chopra may be the talk of the town right now but there was a time she was teased for her skin colour and even called ‘brownie’. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Chopra revealed how all the racism became one of the reasons for her to quit school in the US and move to India. That’s not all – the powerhouse actress was also called ‘Kali’ y her relatives as a ‘joke’, reports TOI.
TOI also reports that Kareena Kapoor Khan had once called Bipasha Basu ‘kali billi’ – that comment had everybody in fits for days.
