Today we're discussing all things Colorism in Bollywood, where we dissect a long and painful history of colorism, racism, skin whitening in Bollywood and, in extension, India.
I really hope you enjoy this video and feel free to give me feedback because I'd love to improve on my video essay game! This is my very first video so I know it's not perfect so feel free to let me know what you think- about the good the bad and the absolutely horrendous haha. Enjoy and feel free to subscribe to a new video essay account and know that I'm incredibly happy to have you aboard on my weekly rants. Lots of love and thank you for watching :"))
- with love, Rubi.
