    No one talks like this in real life. Discrimination is much more subtle. If you expect these simulated situations to reflect real life situations you are way off the mark. People cannot react so plainly because no one talks or behaves so obviously even if they understand the discrimination. These WWYDs are just Feel Goods to comfort and entertain ourselves.

They need people who is more appearing and revealing..There is another situation also while i was working in a IT company, the manager called me to his office and asked me why u wearing a scarf ? cant you remove it!. Its a little off !..you are beautiful and showing hair and being modern looks goods to you especially you are the main face in office. - I was hurt by this comment. And as days goes by it was unpleasant And i resigned from that company. Since then i havent worked for any company in india. and i gone abroad and worked for a year. now i m back and my parents wants me to find a job here. but i m not comfortable here with the people who wanna change me

    I have a comment to make for this video. Racism exists in India much more than any other country. Both in working atmosphere and marriage scenario all the more. Let me tell you the worst affected is the dark male. Because guys are genetically darker than women in general. Lot of guys sitting on top hire fair looking females and guys for job posts irrespective of whether that girl/guy is skilled or not. More so its the fair girl who has all the advantage from the bosses since the older guys on top need some estrogen to keep them going. And those old guys give all this gyan about male-female equality etc while hiring when actually you are insulting a woman or man by not recognizing his/her talent.

    What an amazing concept and seriously appreciate the women who did not keep quite and stood so strong in what she believes in. NDTV as always 👌 gets into the real matter of the society and just some political nonsense all the time.. 💙 Rasisim exist and infact its spreading like fire 🔥 in the 2019 unfortunate reality.

    This dark and fair skin discrimination really happens in companies in Bangalore as I’m into marketing and I recruit people. I have heard from candidates that many candidates get rejected for their looks, they even tell me how fair skinned people even with no communication skills get recruited so easily for a higher pay and they are left with no choice except to apply for marketing and call center jobs.

    Plot twist: The job profile needed was of a tall, lean and a fair woman :3
