From Priyanka Chopra Jonas to Konkana Sharma, B-town beauties who fought discrimination based on skin colour

In her initial years, Bipasha underwent extreme media probe which was not for the correct reasons. She was repeatedly targeted for her dark skin, even though the majority of Indians have the same complexion. 

Konkona Sen Sharma, the national award-winning artist did not meet society's fake beauty norms but this has nothing to do with her talent. Apart from her fabulous acting in films, she also proved herself as a director in 'A Death in the Gunj'.

Priyanka Chopra has had a unique journey both in Bollywood and Hollywood, but the actress faced extreme colourism in the industry in her first few years. She even mentioned that her family used to call her 'kali' because she was the only one who had dusky skin like her father.

Rani Mukerji was at the top when the Hindi film industry only wanted fair girls to fit into the bracket of being a 'proper Indian woman'. From her height to her voice and dark complexion, Rani proved that only and only your talent matters to be a star.

Shilpa revealed that she felt insecure because of her sister Shamita Shetty only because she was fairer. She too faced racism and colourism in Bollywood for being dusky.
