Priyanka Chopra regrets endorsing fairness creams: 'Used to put talcum-powder cream on my face'

Hindustan Times  

Actor Priyanka Chopra has spoken about the hostility she experienced after endorsing skin-whitening creams in India. In a new profile, Priyanka spoke about how normal it is for Indian actors to endorse fairness creams, a topic that she will explore in her upcoming memoir, Unfinished. And it was awful for me, for a little girl who used to put talcum-powder cream on my face because I believed that dark skin was not pretty.” Priyanka's past endorsements resurfaced in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement recently. The book chronicles Priyanka’s childhood, facing racism during her teenage years in the US, winning Miss India and Miss World, and the challenges she faced while navigating a career in Bollywood and Hollywood.
