"I’m brown and extremely happy about it” – says Suhana Khan in a post revealing she was called ‘ugly’ since age 12

By

Suhana Khan, daughter of superstar Shah Rukh Khan and entrepreneur Gauri Khan, has taken to Instagram to highlight an important message on the obsession with fair skin. She revealed that because of her skin colour, she was called ugly since the age of 12.

"I’m brown and extremely happy about it” – says Suhana Khan in a post revealing she was called ‘ugly’ since age 12

In her Instagram post, Suhana 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 further wrote.

She 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.”

Alia Bhatt says the F word at JIO MAMI Movie Mela while talking about Kareena Kapoor Khan We earlier told you how beauties Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor Khan recently dropped in at the JIO MAMI Movie Mela 2019 and had a fun conversation with Karan Johar who turned moderator for one of the sessions. Apart from all the interesting revelations that they made, here's a hilarious gaffe from Alia's end that we are going to remember for a while. It so happened that the Bhatt girl was all praises for Kareena. She went on to heap praises on the Veere Di Wedding actor, but it came to an abrupt end after Alia realised she had just blurted out the 'F' word!  “She (Kareena) has genuinely been an inspiration to me. Earlier there was this thing that if an actress gets married, her career slows down a bit but she totally broke that for all of us,” Alia said. This was followed by how amazing Kareena's airport wardrobe really was. “Rocking that track pant with a pout, it’s just f...

Inside Photos: Ileana D'Cruz paints the town red with her Birthday cum Halloween party When your birthday and Halloween fall on the same day, dress up like a Halloween party and blow the candle! Ileana D'Cruz clubbed the two like a boss and we saw her celebrating her 33rd birthday with her girl pals. It certainly looked like she had a fun-filled night. The pictures are proof enough. For the night, the actor picked a black dress and a silver coat to go with it. Her girlfriends were in the Halloween mode too, and black ruled the night. Check out the photos below. While she herself hasn't opened up about it, Ileana has reportedly split with boyfriend Andrew Kneebone, and her frequent social media PDA isn't a thing anymore. However, she seems to have immersed self-love instead, since we keep coming across her amazing travel pictures. Much excited about ringing in the 33rd spring, she shared a photo of herself in a bikini soaking in the sun, a day prior to her birthd...
