lol bro please! I think the colour blue is suppose to have a metaphorical meaning. You cant seriously be THIS naive :lol:

It would have been awesome if a hollywood production pickedup on the Mahabharat or Ramayan script and turned it into a 300 styled movie. I know it wont ever happen, because the hindu nationalists will go berserk over the slightest mistakes.

wasnt aware of this. did they play a big part in the story?

Mahabharat is distinctly a north Indian epic. Ramayana however revolved around south India aswell. Jesus turned water into Wine. I WANT that guy to be real :cheers:

has this been posted yet?

You are partially right. BUT during its birth, bollywood was started by Punjabi/urdhu/hindi speakers of north India. Most people within the industry already had family/social ties. And it catered towards "that crowd". Later on , I guess because the actors conversed theri dislodges in...

Yea I know sosa. I guess I am not surprised either. He was a roid abuser aswell.

lol check this out: lol what an ugly mofo. He looks like a fucking zombie now :lol:

well I googled "skin lightening before and after". That one looked the most natural looking of all the results. What makes you think its photoshopped?

These people have no sha lol sneaky remarks there! But I think worst are those offenders who choose to promote the bleaching products. Basically its saying that "you lots who employ me through your hard earned money are not good enough... but here maybe this'll help"

See often I hear people say that there is a notable difference in the skin tone between the Brahmins and the people that they are surrounded by. Maybe there is some truth to this, but I think its but the difference is exaggerated imho. Brahmins in south India being from the north is...

ofcourse it is, but perception of whats considered beautiful (skin tone) is is result of many factors. Its not just dark skin= tanned skin=labor worker! I think it goes a step beyond that. Look at how the "gods" are painted now, vs how they were depicted back before the British rule . Even...

I think that comes with preconceived nothion that darker skin= people of the under class. British , and the Turko imperialism in India only built on to that understanding. You would be lying to yourself if you did not admit that huge chunk of the Bollywood "A listers" look similar to only a...

lol hate to break it to the "wheatish" brothas out there ... but that still falls under "brown" :D Do you guys think he lightened up significantly? I would love to read about his experience on how people percieved him before and after the "makeover"

ps: not that it matters, but I was born here. I would think my viewpoints on this topic probably aligns with that of other desi folks from north America.

I was not making a concrete statement but rather presenting the discussion with a possible reason as to why/if people perceived darker skin differently ( vs back home).

Our perceprion of beauty is definately shaped by the enviroment. Case point: Its common knowledge that this guy gets his share of female fans (of all races). Could he have made it in the film industry in Mumbai? I asked for my cousins opinion from back home, and wouldnt you know it... she...
