Bhumi Pednekar's Super Fake ‘Dark' Complexion In Bala Makes Twitter Go WTF; Not 'Fair', Not 'Lovely'
Actress Bhumi Pednekar’s brown face look from the trailer of Bala faces criticism. Twitterati lash out at the makers for not casting a dark skinned actress to play the role. They rightly point - India is so obsessed with fair skin that even a dark skinned character is played by someone with a lighter complexion
if only there were any actors in this country with darker skin... if only.#BrownFace #Bala pic.twitter.com/baks9OaeFw

and why Bhumi Pednekar when we have Konkona Sen Sharma, Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra and many more bollywood actresses with dusky complextion https://t.co/uk2I2M4sW0
So Bala is about a man who suffers from hair loss, who is played by Ayushman, and a dark skinned girl who gets mocked because of that. However, instead of maybe hiring a real dark skinned actress they just cast Bhumi and further darken her face. Ironic, to say the least 🤦🏻♀️ pic.twitter.com/IH9ImpPbyq
