While Shah Rukh Khan played a role in perpetuating colourism by endorsing a fairness cream, at least Suhana Khan has shown some spine by speaking up against it.
The fairness cream industry has a long and prosperous history in India, and was estimated to touch Rs 5,000 crore by 2023, until the Black Lives Matter movement hit this year.
For an industry globally classified as hazardous, protections such as health insurance and a provident fund for workers are necessities. In Sivakasi, they remain elusive.
The industry forecasts exports are set to grow 16% in 2025-26, boosted by surplus domestic production and a drive to push into 26 underserved global markets with strong potential.
Indigenisation level will progressively increase up to 60 percent with key sub-assemblies, electronics and mechanical parts being manufactured locally.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
So many problems around, and all you can think is what some Suhana Khan said? Really! Or again is this a PR stunt to launch yet another star kid? Please get over this bollywood fixation. These people are dumb and self centered. Why waste time asking them?k
We ssay, poor girl, should not be treated like the way she is, because of her father’s choice. I agree to this, but why in every article you quote” Shahrukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan” , just before starting your article. Actually the correlation is brought in to give her a reference in the industry, and I am sorry the public says if someone take advantage of something, then disadvantages will also be borne by him or herself.
Hey girl, you re beautiful girl. Sometime other dark people wish be white. I am white i do wish be dark. I think tan or dark skin are beautiful. I believe natural made from birth.
Some girls wish her hair color, curly, straight, dark, light, and thick. Everybody different think.
Just be happy healthy smart and beautiful women. Why judge body??? Need stop!
It is indeed commendable that someone from the very industry that promotes such “love for white/fair skin” has spoken up about colour based discrimination. I say someone categorically because that’s who she is, someone! She’s yet to make a name for herself outside of her father’s shadow. The issue she has raised should be the focus of discussion without any badgering involved. But then again ours is a gossip hungry nation like any other where “we love to throw the baby out with the bathwater”. What’s more important is that it should start a constructive change inducing dialogue.
It’s India and and maybe some of things will never change is the attitude here when the people here in this country aren’t ready to evolve or change their perceptions according to the time and situations this is what we are going to face a whiplash of humiliation and that too not just in our own country even worldwide.
Skin or colour or religion or caste or creed or anything doesn’t matter when you have heart of gold and here people aren’t yet ready to get over this distribution kind of mentality. Don’t know what century they will get this in their brains. #equality
Poor girl, she should study hard in US and enter the field of education where people are honored based on skills and not on family background, color, facial attributed. Since she has choose a path of Bollywood, nothing wrong in getting some feedback on her looks and beautify standards… These standards were fortified with Bollywood’s love for light skin!
Wait till its your turn for nepotism heat! Don’t just give up yet.
Many time I thought , our country young generation, day by day adopting good leadership ( a good leader never do discrimination in anyform) but Education and money not bring civilization in some ,still some highly educated group doing description in the name of color , caste and religion.
This is classic nepotism.
Some silly little post by an unknown kid, whose only qualification is that she is a movie star’s daughter gets headline news at The Print.
Does anyone really give a sh#t what Suhana Khan says or thinks?
Suhana is a young and at a age where she is impressionable.
Luckily her father is very rich.
She deserves to take up issues she thinks important.
She can also help poor people if she so wishes..
Again let’s not pressure a young kid .GOD BLESS.

Seriously?? Is that issue in this country? People won’t pull her down but you who consumed invaluable space on this page.

The irony here is that brown is beautiful – it enhances the features and makes you look more pretty.
