It's health over skin colour for Chitrangda!
Actor Chitrangda Singh says that she's proud of her dusky complexion and will never apologise for it
Actor Chitrangda Singh is busy shuttling between shooting locations, trying her best not to spark any controversies and in between all this, taking care of her skin. The actor had previously said that she is aware that she now has to take extra care of her diet and skin. The actor has a few simple mantras in mind to achieve that goal. Those who know the actor insist she drinks as much water as possible, to keep herself hydrated in between shoots. The actor herself had admitted that even though her exercise regimen these days is not as grueling as it used to be a few years back, she focuses on her problem areas — her hips, religiously. That apart, Chitrangda insists that she works towards achieving a healthy body and clear complexion as opposed to fair skin.
The actor is aware that the country is obsessed with fair skin but she refuses to join the bandwagon. "I don't believe in this whole 'fair skin' concept. The bias against dark complexion is unfair. I don't think changing the colour of your skin changes the person you are," shoots Chitrangda.
The actor says that she hopes that people stopped attaching so much importance to the colour of one's skin, especially women's. A source close to her says that Chitrangda feels that instead of looking at one's skin colour, people should focus on more real issues like providing education and eradicating corruption. "Chitrangda is very comfortable in her own skin. She would not change anything about her for anybody. So when she was approached to endorse a fairness cream ad, she was aghast! She felt that taking on the endorsement would send a wrong message to so many young girls who are already made to feel bad if they are not fair skinned. So she stood her ground and flatly refused them," adds the source.
Confirms Chitrangda, "I am happy the way I am. I love my skin colour. I am dusky and truly Indian, and I'm happy to stay that way. Why should a person be made to apologise for how they are or be judged by the colour of their skin?"
