VIRAL! Abhay Deol ROASTS Shahrukh, Deepika, Sonam, Shahid & Others For Endorsing Fairness Creams!
From Shahrukh Khan to Deepika Padukone, Abhay Deol slams B-town top celebs for endorsing fairness creams!
Abhay Deol has always been one of those celebs, who speak their mind, without caring much about people's opinions! In a series of posts on Facebook, the actor has slammed the top celebs of the B-town including Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra for endorsing fairness creams.
An actor/actress is not just an artiste but he plays a vital role in influencing the public. Be it us or you, there is no denying that at some point, we do consider our favourite actor/actress our role model.
But what if the same role model, begins channelling a wrong message in the society? Abhay Deol takes a dig at all those celebs, who are endorsing not just fairness but RACISM! Read his posts below and you will end up nodding your head!
Abhay Deol On Shahrukh Khan
"And the King Khan himself asking you-
(Translated)- "Being a man why are you are still using a women's FAIRNESS cream!?"
He's clearly trying to make you a man, becoming whiter in the process is just a side effect."
Abhay Deol On Deepika Padukone
"It says "2-IN-1 FAIRNESS cream". If you notice her eyes are also lighter than they are in real life. So '2-in-1' must be you can put it in your eyes to change their colour.
It's not so much a 'FAIRNESS' cream as it is a coloured lens for the eyes.
And who wouldn't want grey eyes eh? It's the colour of Delhi in the winter.
What a patriotic cream!"
Abhay Deol On Sonam Kapoor
"Um...this one's kinda hard to defend as it does say on the side of the packaging-
"Indian
women
agree,
skin
looks
visibly
fairer:
88%".
But
L'Oreal
is
an
international
brand,
do
they
show
the
same
racism
around
the
world
that
they
are
clearly
showing
here
in
India?"
Abhay Deol On Sidharth Malhotra
"If you look carefully he has some black dust on his forehead. It's only because he will be washing that off is the cream called "Fair and lovely"."
Abhay Deol On Shahid Kapoor
"His
face
is
dark
on
the
right
only
because
that
part
of
the
paper
was
left
exposed
to
the
sun.
They
are
clearly
not
trying
to
show
a
dark
shade
going
on
to
light.
Shame
on
you
to
think
our
celebs
would
be
so
irresponsible,
there's
a
good
explanation
for
everything!"
Abhay Deol On Vidya Balan
"This
one
asks
the
question
"How
true
is
your
FAIRNESS?"
And
further
asks
if
you
just
have
an
"outer
WHITE
layer"
or
is
your
"radiant
FAIRNESS
from
within?"
It
even
has
the
words
'Veda' in
the
packaging
and
that
goes
to
prove
we
are
originally
WHITE
from
within.
Know
your
history
folks!"
Abhay Deol On John Abraham
"WE ARE NOT A RACIST COUNTRY!
I will prove it to you. In the pic below John holds a card with shades from white to dark. Hey! You can see the promise of darker skin too if you read the card from left to right! He's not telling you to go from right to left! Duh!
Even if the writing on the tube reads "Intensive FAIRNESS moisturiser".
It just means its 'FAIR' to all who use it."
Abhay Deol On Ileana D Cruz
"The reason the tube reads "WHITE BEAUTY" is because the photoshopping on her skin has made her look white and she's clearly a beauty.
No demeaning of dark skin here either."
Abhay concluded by saying, "There's a lot more of these campaigns that are blatantly, and sometimes subtly, selling you the idea that whiter skin is better than darker skin. No one at the top of their game in any field is going to tell you that it is demeaning, false, and racist."
"You have to see that for yourself. You have to stop buying into the idea that a particular shade is better than others. Unfortunately if you look at matrimonial ads you will see how entrenched in our psyche this belief is. We even use the word 'dusk' to describe the colour of someones skin!"
"While an individual may not be able to change this attitude in his/her community, he/she can at least start with the family."
