10 Things EVERY Girl With A ‘Dark Complexion’ Hates Hearing!

Dark is just as lovely as fair is. But not everyone seems to think so. In fact, if you’re dark skinned, you must have suffered thanks to the ‘advice’ from relatives and random strangers to help cure you of your complexion. Here are 10 such things dusky girls are tired of hearing. Dear society, can we please worry about relevant things, instead?

1. “You know, you’ve got some good features there. If only your dark complexion didn’t hide them away…”

Just like your poor choice of words hides your seemingly well-meaning intention?

‘Coz he doesn’t live by your standards of beauty. And what makes you think he wasn’t the one who caught me?!

7. “You’ve gotta bleach your face. It’ll make you look at least a shade lighter.”

Your efforts to make the world a fairer place, one shade at a time, really do amaze me.

8. “Gold jewellery makes you look like a South Indian.”

And saying this makes you a racist. Ever thought about that?

9. “Everybody wants a slim and fair bride. That’s just how it is, you know…”

No, that’s not how it is, but it’s sad that that’s the only reality you know…
