Arey fair and lovely laga’.” ALSO READ: Bigg Boss OTT 3: Ranvir Shorey Opens Up About His Breakup With Pooja Bhatt, Calls It The 'Biggest Scandal Of Life'

Quoted by the media publication, the Suhani Si Ek Ladki actress added, “Mujhe nahi fark padta tum kya sochte ho mere baare mein. Mai jo bhi hoon mere colour ki wajah se hoon. Mai alag bhi dikhti hoon na camera pe toh mere colour ki wajah se. Mai is colour ke sath paida hui hoon. Mujhe sharam nahi hai agar apko sharam aa raha hai toh vo apka dimag hai. Apka soch ganda hai toh mjhe mera colour saaf karne ki jarrurat nahi, ap apna soch saaf karlo.” ALSO READ: Bigg Boss OTT 3: Housemates Find LICE In Shivani Kumari’s Hair, Munisha Khatwani Raises Hygiene Concerns- Watch VIRAL Video
