The Dev D actor took to his Instagram page and wrote, "It took a world backlash and the #blacklivesmatter movement to give us a push in this direction.

We have a long way to go in breaking our conditioning of what constitutes for beauty, but this is a small step in the right direction. It's the starting point to a long road ahead. What a beautiful beginning! #nomorefairandlovely #peoplepower."
