It was not so until a decade ago. Saritha was dark and famous. So many actresses were like that. It was not even required to be slim.

Since dark skin absorbs light, it does not photograph well. That is why for TV shoots make-up is a must.
Only Sarita can be called the classic Dark beauty in South Indian cinema though(and Silk Smitha was more of an Item-girl). The rest are all on the fairer side. at least in earlier times, they'd find fairer South Indians. But now, nothing less than a Punjabi will do.
