Nandita Das, who is one of the few dusky beauties in Bollywood, has also often spoken against discrimination in Bollywood. While promoting ‘India’s Got Colour’ campaign, she had said, “When there is a role of a rural woman, or a Dalit woman, or a role of a slum-dweller, then my skin colour is fine. But the minute I have to play an educated, upper-middle-class character, invariably someone comes up to me and says ‘I know you don’t like to lighten your skin, but you know this role is of an upper-middle-class educated person”.
