Shah Rukh Khan, a celebrity who rose to fame and earned himself a big place in the Bollywood industry. However, Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan, is being targeted badly for something that is superficial. Suhana revealed that she has been on the receiving end of many racist comments since she was 12. People troll her and insult her badly for being brown complexioned and of height 5’3”. She took to social media to share the trauma that she has been facing since her childhood. She also mentioned that as Indians are originally brown so ‘hating on your own people just means that you are painfully insecure’. The comments she shared read that she is ‘ugly’ and ‘dark’.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Daughter Suhana Khan Urges to End Colourism:
In her Instagram post, she wrote, “There’s a lot going on right now and this is one of the issues we need to fix!! this isn’t just about me, it’s about every young girl/boy who has grown up feeling inferior for absolutely no reason. Here are just a few of the comments made about my appearance. I’ve been told I’m ugly because of my skin tone, by full grown men and women, since I was 12 years old.”
Suhana added, “Other than the fact that these are actual adults, what’s sad is that we are all indian, which automatically makes us brown – yes we come in different shades but no matter how much you try to distance yourself from the melanin, you just can’t. Hating on your own people just means that you are painfully insecure.”
“I’m sorry if social media, Indian matchmaking or even your own families have convinced you, that if you’re not 5”7 and fair you’re not beautiful. I hope it helps to know that I’m 5”3 and brown and I am extremely happy about it and you should be too. #endcolourism.”
She also attached the screenshots of the comments that were demeaning her looks. Find her post attached below.
