Kajol Opens Up About Being Fat Shamed And Made Fun Of For Her Skin Tone; Netizens Give Mixed Reactions

One of Bollywood's most active actresses is Kajol. She has given us outstanding performances in films like Dushman and the legendary Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. She is one of the actors that defied the stereotypes of beauty in Bollywood. Compared to the dominant leading ladies of the era, Kajol had a darker skin tone. Yet it hardly served as a deterrent. Her charm, spontaneity, and on-screen presence were sufficient to captivate the spectators. She discussed how it took her a long time to be at ease in her own skin in a video interview with Humans Of Bombay. The actress admits that she found it difficult.

The actress is heard expressing that she eventually stopped caring about it. She was raised to have a decent degree of self-esteem in a household of strong women. Kajol claims that she has always thought of herself as intelligent and stylish.

Many people responded to the video. Someone once stated that other females had very little hope if someone like Kajol felt that way. Others remarked on how drastically her skin tone had altered over time. A user commented, "She looks quite fair in this video.... her skin color has changed a lot from DDLJ. I liked DDLJ Kajol better as that gave representation of my skin color which is so rare to find in Bollywood."

As everyone is aware, Kajol and her daughter Nysa Devgn have both faced criticism for lightening their complexion. "After changing skin color she believed it... It's sad the beauty standards we have inherited from the society," while another one wrote, "She was dark. She changed her skin tone from dark to fair taking pills, please be informed well before you write anything about anyone. So please she was not proud of her color in any context."
