Anusha Dandekar Reveals She Was Bullied In Australia; Says She Was Called 'Dark Milk Chocolate'
Recently, MTV VJ and host Anusha Dandekar spoke about how she had gone through her share of bullying in Australia while growing up in the country. In an interview with Koimoi, Anusha revealed that in Australia, she was 'very brown' and they called her 'dark milk chocolate'.
The
actress
was
quoted
by
Koimoi
as
saying,
"I've
gone
through
my
share
of
bullying
in
Australia
as
I
grew
up
there.
Everybody
thinks
'Oh,
what
do
you
know
about
being
brown?'
In
Australia,
I
was
brown,
very
brown.
I
would
be
called
dark
milk
chocolate
or
chocolate
milk
and
things
like
that.
I
was
often
teased
like
that
when
I
was
younger."
Anusha further said that she didn't understand the concept of skin colour being different and used to run to her dad when the comparisons took place. She also added that her parents didn't teach her to differentiate amongst people with regard to their skin tones and felt crazy when people pitted against each other for the same.
She said, "For me, I didn't understand the concept of any skin colour being different when I was a child. So, I ran to my dad and said, "They're calling me this but I don't understand it." I don't see the difference between me or anybody. I was so naïve. It's because my parents didn't teach me any difference. When I came to India, I was so shocked to see in my own country, people are pitting against each other! How can one do that? It's crazy to me."
