ANOKHI UNCENSORED Episode 66
The Battle Against Shadism: Hollywood 1 – Bollywood 0
Hosted By Raj Girn & Hina P. Ansari
Hello Friends,
This episode of The ANOKHI UNCENSORED Show brought our founder Raj Girn & editor-in-chief Hina P. Ansari for this very important discussion . . .
Inspired by the barrier-breaking casting of Simone Ashley (and others) in season 2 of ‘Bridgerton’, Raj and Hina take a closer look at how strong shadism exists in Bollywood, while Hollywood seems to be more inclusive of all shades of South Asian brown.
Highlights from the episode:
🔴 Explore the historic preference of lighter skin tones within the South Asian community.
🔴 Look at Bridgerton’s casting as a barrier-breaking moment or is it just a case of “White Gaze”?
🔴 Examine the shocking number of skin-whitening products that are sold in India, adding to the bottom line of a multi-billion dollar industry, while feeding the inferiority complexes they promote.
🔴 Ponder over whether Bollywood will ever move past skin prejudice and cast a dark-skinned actor in a hero role, rather than always in the villain role.
You can catch the show on www.rukusavenueradio.com the South Asian channel on Dash Radio as well as Spotify, every Monday.
