Mumbai: Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut once again ignited a fiery debate in the industry with her latest statement criticizing the lack of on-screen presence of dark and dusky actors in mainstream cinema. She went to social media asking why fair-skinned actors are preferred in Bollywood despite the Indian standards set forth for beauty.
Kangana’s Bold Statement
In a series of posts, Kangana shared her views on how Bollywood always favored light-skinned actors and sidelined dusky beauties. She pointed out a stark contradiction: while Indian audiences welcome dusky beauties in real life, the film industry remains unchanged from Eurocentric beauty ideals.
“Why are there hardly any dark-skinned heroines in Bollywood? Why do filmmakers shy away from casting dusky actors in lead roles?” Kangana wrote.
Salutes Mahakumbh Girl Monalisa
Kangana also didn’t miss the chance to praise Monalisa, a young girl who was recently in the news at Mahakumbh for her natural beauty and grace. She called Monalisa the symbol of rich and diverse aesthetics of India, applauding her confidence and representing real Indian beauty.
“Monalisa is gorgeous. She represents the raw, authentic beauty of India, which should be celebrated more in films,” Kangana added.
Debate Over Fairness Bias in Bollywood
These comments by Kangana have sparked debate over colorism in Bollywood. Rather than Kangana, many more actresses, such as Priyanka Chopra, Nandita Das, and Bipasha Basu, have also presented their viewpoints on the industry’s obsession with fair skin color. While there has been some progress, with filmmakers embracing more diverse casting choices, the industry still largely favors actors with lighter complexions.
Reactions to KanganaтАЩs Statement
Kangana’s comments are indeed causing debate. While fans supported her, critics argued that in her own films she is often paired with mainstream stars from Bollywood. Some people agree that she has used her voice to raise this issue.
As Bollywood gradually inches towards inclusion, conversations like these call for drastic measures. Whether Kangana’s statement leads to a shift in casting choices is a topic for the future, but what it has done is reignite an important debate on beauty standards in Indian cinema.
