You're the exception as Bollywood is a reflection of Hindi-speaking Indians beauty standards
Just look at what we consider beautiful:
- Long, lustrous, thick, black hair.
Yes, they are prized in our ancient and medieval literature, in religion, and Bollywood- right from the 40s to now.- Fair skin.
- Deep, dark eyes. Big, deep eyes are considered beautiful and mysterious. Most Indian women naturally have dark pupils, however those with light pupils are considered beautiful as well.
- Straight, pointed nose (for both men and women).
- Thin lips. Thin compared to a lot of other cultures which find full lips attractive. The lower lip is supposed to be fuller than the upper one.
- Petite but voluptuous (big bosom, pronounced curves) Women with petite but voluptuous figures are considered more attractive than thin, muscular, broad-shouldered ones. The size zero attraction is relatively recent and borrowed from other cultures
I cannot see the image you posted. No arguments on the Indian beauty standards. Though I am not a native Hindi speaker per se. And a lot of our girls are very fair, some even light haired and quite a large number light eyed.
That said, having a standard of beauty does not automatically mean you find deviations gross. Variety is always good. Even welcome.
