Fashion maven Masaba Gupta, who has always been outspoken and voice of body positivity, raises the concern of racial discrimination in the society today. Speaking about the recent campaign of Black Lives Matter in the US and all over the world, Masaba voiced out that we need to first take care of our 'brown lives matter' in India and then worry about the US. She finds it bizarre that racism that is done so far away from home is creating such an uproar. Look at the kind of racism people who are dark-skinned in this country have to face. She believes that if Indians say it just as a joke, one thinks it will pass. Indian culture has ingrained the idea of being fair-skinned related to success. And one thinks that is the truth.
Masaba unabashedly says that unfortunately, the beauty, fashion and Bollywood industry are to be blamed and how many times do you hear that you have to be fair-skinned to land a certain role or an advertisement?
