Twitterati trolls Uday Chopra for saying, 'fairness creams are racist as hair colours'

Recently, Abhay Deol expressed his disappointment towards influential Bollywood personalities endorsing fairness products and propagating wrong messages to the audience. This was followed by Sonam Kapoor getting trolled for her effort to embarrass Abhay Deol.

Now, another Bollywood actor has come out to express his take on fairness product endorsements, but this is quite different from that of Abhay Deol.

'Dhoom' actor Uday Chopra has tweeted a few of his thoughts on this recent controversy, and this is what he had to say:

It’s 2019 people let’s be happy we still have internet and we can at least say things that are monitored but seemingly positively.

What is this nonsense with fairness creams. If fairness creams are racist then so is hair color. It’s a personal choice! #NotRacist

— Uday Chopra (@udaychopra) April 14, 2017

On fairness creams. If you need to use it, do it. It’s not a race issue, it’s a self esteem issue. Don’t do it if you think you are fine!

— Uday Chopra (@udaychopra) April 14,2017

Now, we are not quite sure what Uday was trying to propagate.




In one of the tweets he said, that fairness cream is not a race issue, but is a self-esteem issue. Guess, Uday didn't quite understand the point Abhay was trying to make. It's not just about being racist, but the endorsements also give out messages that deteriorate one's self-esteem.
