Re: The quest for fair skinned wife
This.
First off, i think in a predominantly asian magazine, they should just stick to asian models.
However, since they do use white models, they should NOT portray them as desi because it’s misleading and probably creates various psychological issues for asian aunties wanting daughter-in-laws whiter than milk.
Also, the fact that in Pakistani/Indian dramas and bollywood, they slap on so much makeup that it lightens their skin from Johnny Lever to Aishwariya Rai does not help. I mean, are they trying to turn girls into colour-changing chameleons? you can blatantly tell their real colour from their arms/hands like below:
