Actress
Bhumi
Pednekar
gets
criticized
over
her
Bala
poster,
wherein
she
can
be
seen
in
a
dusky
appearance.
The
actor's
complexion
has
been
visibly
altered
in
the
trailer
as
well
as
the
poster
and
netizens
are
anything
but
happy.
Netizens
slammed
the
makers
for
not
choosing
a
dark-skinned
actress
for
the
role,
who
would
have
been
apt
for
the
role
and
would
have
conveyed
the
message
of
'people's
obsession
with
a
fair
complexion'
in
an
authentic
way.

netizen

"One
day
Bollywood
will
realise
dark
skinned
people
exist
and
they
don't
have
to
put
2
kilos
of
dark
foundation
on
a
fair
skinned
actress.
Another
user
wrote,
"Wish
industry
had
dark-skinned
actresses
to
properly
portray
the
struggle.
But
it'll
be
way
too
long
before
that
happens.
Until
then
this
is
what
we
get.
Painted
faces."
"CAST
ACTORS
WITH
DARK
COMPLEXION
!!
This
is
why
the
world
asks
us
why
are
we
racist
towards
ourselves!!" wrote
another
person.
"Tbh,
I
don't
even
care
about
the
acting.
Maybe
this
person
is
a
great
actor.
But
like,
dude
why
did
y'all
put
makeup
to
make
a
fairly
light
skinned
person
into
a
dark
skinned
person.
Should've
just
sat
there
and
casted
a
dark
skinned
person
🤦🤦🤦,"
wrote
another
user.
Another
upset
user
wrote,
"Can't
believe
y'all
are
putting
brown
makeup
on
fair
skinned
actresses
instead
of
hiring
an
actress
that
actually
has
brown
skin.
It's
not
that
hard
we
live
in
India
there
are
tons
of
talented
brown
girls
that
could've
played
this
role."
Some
also
defended
the
Bala's
poster
featuring
Bhumi
Pednekar.
