Gulki
Joshi,
who
is
currently
seen
in
the
role
of
SHO
Haseena
Malik
in
the
show
Maddam
Sir,
recently
spoke
about
her
journey
and
the
struggle
she
faced
because
of
her
skin
colour.
In
an
interview
with
ETimes
TV,
Gulki
revealed
that
she
used
to
get
rejected
because
of
her
skin
colour.
While
recalling
the
past
incidents
from
the
initial
days
of
her
career,
Gulki
Joshi
said
that
makers
of
the
TV
shows
used
to
look
for
fair
skin
lead
heroines.
She
feels
blessed
that
one
director
chose
her
on
the
basis
of
her
talent.
The
Maddam
Sir
actress
said,
"There
was
a
time
when
TV
shows
would
look
for
gori-chitti
lead
heroines.
But
by
God's
grace,
I
got
through
it
too
because
He
has
given
me
the
talent.
There
have
been
times
when
I
have
been
told,
'Aap
looks
me
itna
match
nhi
karte
ho,
but
aap
performer
achhe
ho
toh
hum
aapko
cast
kar
lete
hain.
(You
don't
match
so
much
look
wise,
but
you
are
a
good
performer
so
we
will
cast
you)'
I
don't
know
if
it
was
a
compliment
or
an
insult
but
it
has
happened."
It
is
quite
hard
to
believe,
but
Gulki
Joshi
further
revealed
that
she
was
rejected
for
the
role
of
a
naukrani
(domestic
help)
due
to
her
skin
colour.
Isn't
it
shocking?
Well,
speaking
about
that,
the
actress
said,
"There
have
been
times
when
I
would
go
for
an
audition
for
the
lead
role
and
the
casting
director
would
ask
me,
"Achha,
aap
naukrani
ke
role
ke
liye
aaye
ho?
(Have
you
come
for
the
maid's
role?)" I
would
explain
to
them
that
I
have
come
to
meet
a
certain
person
for
the
lead
role.
I
can't
even
blame
anyone.
This
has
been
the
industry
standards
since
ages."
Well,
Gulki
Joshi
has
now
become
an
established
actress
and
has
been
winning
hearts
with
her
performance
in
Maddam
Sir.
She
has
also
featured
in
shows
like

Patrol
