Kajol - the problem with skin bleaching in Bollywood! Icon criticized for not caring about her looks

I too was darker in school then iam now..... The outdoor activities and lack of sunscreen. Even now when I go on holiday, with sunscreen and hat protection I come back super tanned, which takes many months to reduce.

Your channel is very interesting, I love it.

I'm an indian and my skin colour changes so fast. In winter my skin gets fairer. In summer I can get quite dark if I spend lot's of time outside. I personally don't think having fair skin makes you look beautiful. I've seen heaps of females who actually look more beautiful with their darker skin. Only complaint I have about my skin colour which is not fair and it's not dark, is that makeup companies don't make foundation colours to match in my in-between brown colour. Most annoying!

Since she is a celebrity n a known face n renowned person it's nyc to know her life story

Kajol is the queen of bollywood 😘🥰😍

You can't suddenly have whiter skin overnight. As an Indian myself, I used to foolishly think that by having money, I'll be able to afford to eat naturally healthy foods that will cleanse my blood and improve my skin colour. But now, I'm proud of my skin colour.

Thanks for this Karine. Her daughter Nyss was dark and now is fair too. I grew up in a hot country - I'm Asian and for the last 23 years I've lived in London where ...well there is not that much sun :) I'm still more or less have the same skin tone. Maybe just a bit lighter . Whereas Kajol is white .

Skin bleaching is very big in India. My take is that her changed of skin shade is from bleaching

I was so dark when I was young because of the sun when I saw a picture in a friend house I was like nooo 😂😂😂😂 so the yes make up look dark am from Puerto Rico and the sun there is no a joke.

Kajol is born in 1974. She is 49 now. In 1992, she was 18 yrs old. She was not in school but college.

I think she was pale. It probably was a strategic decision to have tanned up, because it compliments her deep brown eyes!

It's not cajole, its KAJOL and it's not nutaan its NUTAN

It's not pinch Gani its PANCHGHANI

Great acting skills Kajol

Most beautiful actress in bollywood, people just go watch the movies and let her be

I like Kajol, she is a wonderful actress but here she is definitely lying. She must have gone under skin lightening treatments. If she says she doesn’t stay in the Sun, which is not so nice. We all need vitamin D, it’s important for our body. I was also medium colour tone when growing up in India but when I came to UK, obviously because of lack of Sun my skin tone has gone little lighter, especially during winter time but in summer again i get sun tanned and I absolutely love it. I like going through this natural changes in my skin tone and i adore bit of both.

She looks like Salma Hayek

Nepotism. But that's Bollywood, it's rampant. Kajol is very charismatic in her own right nonetheless!

I honestly believe her when she says the reason her skin lightened is because she stays indoors more. I’m not Indian but I’m African descent Mali/ivory coast 🇲🇱🇨🇮 and during the winter in the states I become very pale (I’m naturally light tan. While I’m visiting back home or summer time I become quite dark and glowy. It’s beautiful. Just depends on your genetics to be honest

Literal favorite Indian actress l, she makes you feel the role especially once she gets sad❤ You should do Jaya Bachchan or Kareena Kapoor

I love bollywood too Even tho I don't understand

I am Southeast Asian, I have a younger sister who has skin that is darker than mine. From childhood people treated us differently, always more favourable to me. In the tradition of siblings, I always wanted her beautiful glowy skin instead of my pale pallid, yellow skin!

I've never heard of black Americans being into Bollywood films! 🎉👍😘

You should do Sharmila Tagore

Please do a video on Rani Mukherjee

I am noticeably lighter in winter. Yes, when black people avoid the sun over a period of years, we do lighten up. It doesn't seem healthy to me

I've never seen darker complexioned Indians in Bollywood films. I don't know if that is deliberate or because those films are not distributed to American audiences.

💛

It's so funny that you call kajol gorgeous(that is only pretty) but, speak doubt fully about Aishwarya's super beauty.

Jealously will never leave women..

It doesn't matter if his skin is dark, but what matters is that he has the most beautiful eyes and eyebrows in the world

There is no way she was tanning herself in India, from the day a girl is born there they make sure they do not spend time in the sun. Their beauty and markatability is so linked to being lighter. You do get a bit lighter as you age, you often see that in older people but she wasn't that old. You can just get an I.V these days with a medication that makes you pale, they use it all the time in Asia and she'd have the money probably to skip any dangerous skin bleaching. And the result would be even on her whole body. Any beauty would be trying to make the most out of her looks as she gets older and I'm sure they do in fact think she looks better now. They see every shade difference there.

She bleached😂😂😂😂

Kajol has a very natural organic beauty that is both striking but also very approachable and tomboyish almost. She doesn’t really need heavy makeup and fancy hair styles to shine

It’s possible to have farmers tan when you’re out more and look lighter when you’re indoors more, so it’s hard to say sometimes. Also anemia can cause skin to become paler which I suffered from sometimes and that can make me look paler sometimes

I saw her 2023 pictures. She's light, but it isn't unbelievable that she's lighter-skinned.

Shes a gorgeous girl

Ooooo, she's a babe!

I'm Indian and Kajol is not considered beautiful here. She's a good actress but she's not sexually appealing to India people

A lot of them whitening their skin. Her, Deepika and Priyanka. The Indian tabloid used to call them dusky but it’s possible to get a little lighter if you don’t go out in the sun.

As you get older you don’t have as much melatonin

My 3 adult sons have a medium dark-skinned Indian dad and a blue eyed, blonde Aussie mum (me). They all grew up with olive skin, but the middle one who has an outdoor job, is so much darker than his brothers. His brothers have more of a Mediterranean skin tone, so exposure to the sun certainly makes a difference 😊

She had lightened her skin. Because I can tell. It’s so sad, but it’s true

I honestly think Kajol and SRK are the only people who could’ve made DDLJ as iconic as it is. Despite her personal struggle with playing emotional roles, she did a fantastic job

People has to learn how skin tones/genes work. I'm Black, here in the south in the summer, I'm tan-to-brown skin. It's fall/winter now and I'm about to go back to being light skin-to-high yellow. Been this way since I was a child.

OAN: She's gorgeous, her whole family is gorgeous✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Kajol is absolutely incredible and she is stunning. I remember when I realised she had bleached and i was saddened by this because she was beautiful with her natural complexion. Another indian tried to tell me she was always light🙄 but i knew that was a lie. I have watched nearly all her films and i noticed the difference straight away. I'm disappointed in Bollywood and the obsession in south east Asia with lighter women when these people really have been brainwashed to appreciate lighter skin.

She is the most beautiful woman, my fellow team 4 ❤

Thank you for this video. It is totally possible for your skin to get lighter as you age. One of the biggest reasons is like you say - when we are younger, we spend a lot more time outside in the sun. You wouldn't believe some of the pictures of myself when I was a kid. Especially pictures of myself in the summer when I was younger. Very different from now.

Wasn't Kajol born in 1975 ?

I am a dark-skinned black woman, dark enough that I grew up as a child with a complexion complex, however, I have noticed as I have aged, especially as I got closer to 40, that I too am no longer the same color that I was, so much so that I wonder if the little girl with the complex could have seen what she would eventually look like, would it have helped?
