Preity Zinta.Indian?!
Question:
Preity Zinta.Indian?
Sorry, I'm not indian but I'm a great fancier of Bollywood movies.Preity Zinta doesn't look like a typical Indian girl for my eyes.She could be Italian like me!We use to consider the Indians as people with a very dark complexure and long long long black hair and when we watch to your movies we use to say about Fardeen Khan or Preity and Saif Ali: look!An Italian!What a ignorance!Why do they look different?
Answers:
Indians and Italians do look similar! I'm Indian and I remember how I used to adore Sophia Loren mistaking her to be Indian. My mother too used to wonder and ask, "Isn't she Indian?"
Most Indians are dark-complexioned but a fairer one is always the more coveted and appreciated. That's why most movie stars here are fair.
I think we might be the world's largest consumers of so-called 'fairness creams' which do not at all lighten your complexion but are used even by men since fairness is prized.
Even South Indians are lighter-skinned. My friend's a Southey but her mom and many southern actresses are really fair.
