"(My skin) is as complicated as I am. When I was growing up, I didn't see anyone on television who looked like me. Initially, companies didn't have colours that matched Asian or Indian skin. Because I'm darker, I had issues as a teenager - society pressure that a girl is prettier if she's lighter. Pressures exist, and it's on us to make those pressures not seem important to girls."

She further commented, "I've achieved what I've achieved, and skin colour has nothing to do with it. In fact, it might have been an asset. I like the colour of my skin very much. It's so primitive to me that people are judged on the basis of the colour of their skin. I mean, it's skin. We all have it."
