Talking about the same, Priyanka said, “[Skin lightening] was so normalized in South Asia; it’s such a large industry that everyone was doing it. In fact, doing it is still a check [mark] when you are a female actor, but it’s awful. And it was awful for me, for a little girl who used to put talcum-powder cream on my face because I believed that dark skin was not pretty.”
She had earlier talked about the same with Barkha Dutt in 2015. Priyanka was quoted as, “I felt really bad about it, that’s why I stopped doing it.” “All my cousins are gora-chitta (fair) I was the one who turned out dusky because my dad is dusky. Just for fun, my Punjabi family would call me ‘kaali, kaali, kaali’. At 13, I wanted to put fairness creams and wanted my complexion changed,” Priyanka had added.
The book, Unfinished, is set to release on 9th February 2021.
