Abhay Deol now targets fairness creams; asks, “Will Indian celebs stop endorsing them?”

Recently, Abhay Deol slammed ‘woke Indian celebrities’ for their posts on the Black Lives Matter movement. Now the actor has called out Indian celebrities for endorsing fairness creams. Taking to his Instagram handle, Abhay shared a lengthy post where he also shared the data about search trends of fairness creams in the country.

Sharing the overall analysis of fairness creams in India, Abhay wrote, “Fairness creams in India have evolved over the years, from being fairness creams to now using euphemisms like “skin brightening/ whitening”, or “lightening creams”. Most brands no longer want to be associated directly with being termed as ‘fairness creams’. So now we have brands selling “HD glow”, “White beauty”, “white glow”, “fine fairness”, and so on.”

He also wrote, “Over the years these companies have turned their attention towards the Indian Men, who are now trying to be “fair and handsome”, and have dedicated power white ranges for them too.”

Abhay also called out the Indian celebs who are condemning for what’s happening in America instead of ‘calling out the systemic problems’ in our own country. He wrote, “Maybe it’s time for these now? Now that ‘woke’ Indian celebrities and the middle class stand in solidarity with fighting systemic racism in America, perhaps they’d see how it manifests in their own backyard? America has exported violence to the world, they have made it a more dangerous place, it was but inevitable that it would come back karmically. I’m not saying they deserve it, I’m saying look at the picture in it’s totality.”
