With a multi-billion dollar industry in India, skin bleaching is very common among the Indian population. But how are people with fair skin treated in India? Do they get preferential treatment? We hit the streets of Mumbai to find out.
The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Indian population.
Special thanks to our Asian Boss team in Mumbai.

Asia : skin bleaching
Foreigners: skin tanning
This shows that no one is happy with the skin tone they have.
It shows that the that media has brainwashed and affected us all in every part of the world. No one can feel happy and confident in their skin anymore because of what messages are being put out there. We're all beautiful and equalz and I wish everyone could see that
Only european foreigners. Most of the world has brown skin
Murphy So Yes your comment is ignorant and also “black skin” is not a color. Still brown people. You are extremely clueless.
@Murphy So it's not brown it's orange. Africans are brown and dark indians are brown.
It’s true but I don’t think anyone has ever lost job opportunities for being pale
"I don't take pride in my color because it's nothing to take pride in. It's given to you naturally, you never earned it" I loved that
That guy is smart
Yes
they got conquered by the fairskinned people too many times thats why in their dna they are built to worship us
He earns my respect.
You are a good person

@abhishek sharma abhishek, what you've said can be true but I am not gonna lie I've been in that guy's shoes many a times and ngl I mean it. My sister was getting divorced and everyone who used to come and ask(or just wanted to add fuel to the fire); my mother always answered ki kya kmi h ldki m, humne dahej se unke ghar bhare, gori chitti ldki h, Koi kaali ni h, pdhi likhi h. And I always used to think ki agar kaali hoti to divorce ni krate kya. Khaane dete unhe maarein, jhelne dete marital rape and forced conceiving. I'm truly saying jb bhi Koi khta h na that I'm beautiful I always say I'm just white I'm not beautiful. And I mean it from my heart.
I'm speechless. This interviews are a reflection of how Smart, Mature, Humble these boys and girls are. I love India ❤

Camera ke saamne sab aise hi bolte he. Would they themselves marry someone with a much darker skin than themselves. Colorist isn't fair itself 😑🙂🤣
Reality is much different.
As an brown girl I'm really proud of my skin tone and I just don't care what people think about me
Imagine someone saying they are proud of their white skin, they will be termed as racists , my opinion is that never take pride in your physical appearance because you have not struggled to achieve it. Apologies if by chance, I have offended you
@Nix Man proud of my brown skin ❤😊
Oh blah blah blah. So sick of proud of my skin color from brown people. Who cares about your stupid skin color. Get over it.

@@Edensundae I don't think anyone should be proud of their skin tone (I agree with you on liking it though) guy at 6:48 has a point
I do wanna address though what you said about "light skin tones on white people will always be wanted" which isn't the Western standards of tanning proving otherwise?
"Your colour is something given to you naturally its nothing to take pride in" clever man
Stfu

Tell that to White person... they will vehemently disagree or even be offended. White people take pride in their White skin, they always go on about their white skin superiority.
Whitening products actually blocks the naturally proces of whitening, because the body already whitens itself, its a natural proces.
@@lifestyleandbodybalanced4463 hi any resources you could site on this?
People can't even imagine what kind of mental trauma dark skinned people go thru in India... It's horrible...
It’s tough. It’s probably worse in south Korea though... I wish we could all be told we are beautifulbecause we all are :(
Well I spent my entire teenage feeling ashamed of myself.
@@shivanikm7693 girl, you don't need to have lighter skin to be beautiful. You are perfect the way you are. Learn to love your skin tone. You said yourself that you just started your teenage years so if you continue to think that having lighter skin will make you "pretty" or something it will affect your mentality in future. Love yourself for who you really are, not for what the society wants you to be.
@@shivanikm7693 not to be rude or something but do you really wanna be a kpop idol because music/dance is your passion or just because you want to meet your idols there? Whatever the reason is I wish the best for you, you are young so you might don't really know kpop's dark side or whatever but one thing I wanna say is that you don't need to have lighter skin tone to be a kpop idol. There are many idols whose skin are tan like Mamamoo's Hwasa, Exo's Kai and Bts' Taehyung but they all are successful because of their talents. I'm not telling you to stop dreaming or anything but you have a long way to go so just reconsider everything.
Is that so? I didn't think it can be that bad. I'm an Indonesian, of course as an Asian we have similiar opinion about lighter and darker skin, but straight up discrimination from skin color isn't something I've seen, people play light-hearted joke to their friends about it sometimes but that's about it, if anything, we have racism towards the Chinese ethnics in the country.

i’m south asian and i LOVE darker women and men. in fact i’ve never used any skin whitening products! hope people can learn to love themselves
Wow.. Those who were interviewed are intelligent, articulate, and open-minded. I really admire them.

While you mean well, your comments scream ignorance.
It’s not the same. There is an entire system designed to oppress dark skin people from jobs to romance to social acceptance. This doesn’t happen to light skin people.
If by lightening my skin I increase my chance with romance, job opportunity, and social acceptance, then it’s beyond just “loving my own skin”
Stop diluting the problem with your “it goes both ways” comment.
@@stevenliang3213
There isn't a system that "oppresses darker-skinned people"
I think bollywood should change this thing and everything will change😌
As an Indian I guess this skin tone thing will disapear in some years as the new parents / generation including me will never tell our kids that you need to be fairer,darker,slimmer etc. to look beautiful you just need to be confident for what you are and keep up the good work
As an Indian realist, I can say that this generation is also obsessed with fair skin so much that see themselves as white. Now, fairness word has been replaced with glowness word but the sense is same.
They don't show openly show their dislikeness in public 'cuz they fear that they will be termed as narrow-minded.
We are the most colourist society in the world. Accept the fact and if you don't like it then change the reality.
When it comes to marriage this generation always looks for fairer life partner . Make up trend is increasing not decreasing. Initially it was forced on females but now a days men are also getting trapped.
Why do you think our girls like BTS , definitely it's not just music 🤣🤣
Yes totally its bcz of their character development, behavior, style, bond and those intelligent little easter eggs as well!!
While i agree they are goodlooking men its common in that industry to be like that or in fact even better
Ppl whitewash their skintone and pour makeup while their conplexion is much darker
But i dont belive its possible to create such a dedicated fanbase just by becoming an eye candy( its just like a cherry on top of the cake)
And whites are obsessed with getting a tan - a golden brown skin!
No problem! No one says anything against it
How about surgery to get a straighter nose, liposuction to suck the fat out, change hair color, bleach off hair off the body, surgery to get bigger breasts, a bigger behind etc?
no problem. "We here in the west approve of all this - WE make the rules and so all this is ok
WE don't approve of darker skinned people getting a lighter tone - now that is wrong!"
The sad thing is to see Indians mocking themselves - still slaves of the white man
Still putting themselves down because the white man says so
.
Fact is that in ancient times people with a lighter skin tone meant they worked indoors, meaning they made their living by using their brains, had an education
And that is how this looking up to fairer skin tone came in
Of course that is not true today but that's the idea
We should not judge people by skin tone but nothing wrong with saying I want a lighter skin tone
LMAO the guy that was like 'india has a million problems if you solve that you're more beautiful than a skin tone' AINT DAT DA TRUTH
ye preach
They must remember pale skin people who wanted to but white ( pale skinned Europeans ) taught they to hate themselves , to hate their earth tone shades .So now you have this problem
AINT DAT DA TRUTH 😏😏😏

I'm a Sri Lankan. My grandfather's skin is naturally dark and he likes it. But since the fair and lovely was first introduced he wanted to use it and see. It is really fun for us to see one of the former directors in the Health Department of the country using a feminine beauty product in his 70's. Not criticising anyone but wanted to share the story here. And also whether you are white,black or fair in skin color it does not matter until you are beautiful in your heart ❤️
I’m half white and whenever I visit my cousins in India they compliment me on my “fair” skin and it’s honestly heartbreaking because they are so gorgeous
Same thing happened to me but I'm not white I'm bengali and one time my mom was talking to my aunt and my aunt was "praising" on how my skin looked "fairer" then my cousin's,I'm a tan wtf and then one time my parents were watching some old videos of me as a child and my mom quickly commented on how my skin used to be so "white" and now I'm so "black" like wtf it's my skin I was never white and if I was then I love both my skin colors before and now I used to hate my skin just cause it got tanned as I got into elementary school and my mom would always tell me to drink lots of milk and milk that she colored pink and I BELIEVED it was truly terrible that I thought about that about my skin like that and my mom still tries to encourage me to make my skin white by following her ridiculous rules and ways I really hope this ends it dosent just happen in India but everywhere in Asia very heartbreaking ;(

This is really true , In my school the "fair" girls are selected for greeting the chief guests considering them as beautiful . Because of that we think ourselves as ugly which eventually makes us less confident . I think parents and teachers are the ones who should teach us everyone is beautiful in their own way. Writing this because I am still suffering with my traumas. And want no one should be feel like this.
I’m a British Indian. I grew up in Britain and well it wasn’t obvious I was Indian, and whenever I went to visit family in India, they would always compliment me on the fairness of my skin, and even as a young child I knew it was wrong. As I got older, people on the streets would shout “Ghost girl” at me and I felt like I wasn’t meant to be there and I felt really out of place. I took it personally back then but now I’m starting to take it lightly because no matter what people are never going to be satisfied. There will always be unrealistic standards 😢
And finally "fair and lovely" renamed to "glow and lovely" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeahh but their motto doesn't change.. 🤦🤣

I have a gorgeous friend ( she’s from India) , she said she never got compliments about her beauty in India , she was rather told that she’s too dark . it’s only when she started traveling that people would tell her that she’s strikingly beautiful .
I am dark skinned Indian guy and I had similar experience in US.
When I lived in Korea everyone told me how pretty my skin tone was and how they wished their skin was as pale as mine. When I moved to America everyone told me I was too pale and needed to get a spray tan. I like my skin the way it is so I'm not going to tan it but people generally want what they don't have and it's sad.
@J OneLife @J It's my personal opinion but I find a pretty Indian woman is prettier than a pretty white woman. More feminine.
@J OneLife jealous of american women?? Really?? 😂😂😂😂

I feel so terrible for the women that go through it, I always hated my pale skin and dark hair and there in India these women go through heart breaking oppression over being dark, and risk their health to bleach their skin, it’s heart breaking 💔
The guy who mentioned the Caste system had the strongest point. It is unfortunately true.
How does that skin color issue relate to caste system when our great Lord Krishna and even Rama had a very darker skin tone, as it is stated. So why weren't they considered to be untouchable instead of being described as the most handsome guy (Krishna) of Mathura?
It all started when the British White people brainwashed the Indians.
@Ras Putin Ummm...not really, because I see others portraying him as more of a blue skin toned guy.
@Ras Putin don't generalise everyone. I could say the same for you.
Y'all stay happy with what you have instead of chasing after something that you can't.
I agree with the point that caste system had an effect on this but it was very less, the main reason of Indians wanting to be light skinned was because of British people. During the colonial period, the Britishers were in power and they were wealthy and powerful and they obviously hated dark skinned people. So, the thinking of Indian people changed and they started thinking that people with fair skin hold a higher position in society and he/she must belong to a good wealthy house. That is what basically started this problem of racism in India.
As someone pointed out in the comments, I would like to talk about Lord Krishna. We know that Lord Krishna was dark in colour , he was depicted as dark as a rain filled monsoon cloud and beautiful in the old scriptures and shlokas and granths. And the old Idols of Lord Krishna will also be black or Dark, but because this change in people's thinking, he was later portrayed as blue or fair skinned(very less) at some places.This is because of the effect of colonization and this shows how big is colour discrimination in our country.
And I am not saying that caste system is not a problem, it is one of the biggest problem of our society. Even I have seen my grandmother do discrimination on the basis of caste. My mom is a teacher, and in their staff they always eat lunch together and eat each other's food too, and my grandma always used to ask my mom that what is the caste of her fellow staff people, and she used to say that don't eat food with them and etc. well I am glad that my mom never listened to her XD .
She even used to ask me about caste of my friends when I was young and I always used to say that I don't know. But nowadays I always counter her on these kind of remarks. I always try and make her understand that there is nothing like untouchables. But just like most of the old people she is too stubborn to realize.
I noticed that almost all Indians are intillegent and very articulate! They're deep thinker and because of that I give all my respect to them
Busy Always Their many videos on RUclips that advise girls not to travel there alone not to mention that my cousin went to New Delhi and saw men behave inappriopriately with students girls and i was also told that a woman can be raped in public transports without anybody doing nothing ...
@Busy Always India is unsafe for women. You can't possibly say otherwise given the huge number of reported AND unreported rape cases.
ya coz of the education system, they have a lot of pressure and stress, which then of course meanss they study more and therefore r smarter (btw i m not trying to be biased or anything, please dont hate on me, i m just saying)
@Busy Always few nice guys thrmere are lot's of nice guys
Belle India is diverse this are some educated people but all of them are not same diffrence between metropolitan city and villages
I think indians have the most beautiful eyes in the world, shape and colour , i like it very much
I m Indian and many of my frnds are Indian ... and we literally love our skin colour ... we all have different colors ranging from white to tan to olive to black ...and no one mock or tease any one... India has changed alot ... it's ur talent ur designation ur way of talking and boldness which younger Indian appreciate and look upon ...
Those times.. of faif looking princess are long gone

As an African American im proud of my dark skin. I hope india can break this system down. DARK IS BEAUTIFUL.
Yes so true☺️
I love my dark brown skin and you should too. I hope Indians can realize that their skin glows in the sun 😊
@ᏒᎯᎻᏬᏝ yea ik, wha ohh. I’m Indian-American so I’m not really around teachers who bring down kids cause of their skin tone, a society that brings down people cause of the color of their skin and I’m around different media and friends that dont have these ideals as do Indians. It’s still kinda sad tho cause my parents were brought up in India thinking as do many aunties and uncles so I grew up with the dark comments and my mom put fair and lovely on me even when I was really young.
@ᏒᎯᎻᏬᏝ you mean albino
I agree we grow up getting told how much a brown skin is beautiful! And we always had I’m black and proud mentality my heart breaks for them every darkskin person I know gets so much praise for their color
Serious topic showing
Everyone: wow wow they are so good in english...
Never fails
Yea those kinda comments make me cringe a little
I mean, proficiency in English or any other language for that matter shouldn't be a measure of someone's intellect.
@That One where are you from?
@@kirangiby1818 exactly I agree, the language u speak doesn't determine ur intelligence..
Growing up in America, I've been teased and picked on my whole life for being too fair. One of my ex boyfriends, told me I was whiter than his (white) shirt. I've had more than one teacher ask me if I was sick because I was so pale. It used to make me so insecure. I would always self-tan for the majority of my teens and 20s. And it didn't always look good. Eventually I got more comfortable in my own skin and now I just ignore people when they say negative things. When I was younger, I would've traded skin colors with any of these people in a heart beat. I am still a little insecure when it comes to my legs... But everyone is beautiful. All colors.❤️
"Fair and beautiful , that's the only thing that's Matters" ....as you all heard their inner voice screaming that we really feel it needy to look good.
It's Sad but it's matters !
"I dont take pride in my skin tone, It's given to me naturally" I like that
@varkey42 u have already mentioned about it in an another comment tho

So many of these people are admirably articulate in the way they think and speak. Really loved hearing what they had to say
I respect their opinions, very practical. The terrifying beauty standards society/media has set have really brought down the self-esteem of people of all skin types.
I like when the guy said he never takes pride in his skin color because he didn't earned it and it's given naturally. I think we need more of this mindset
I am just here, admiring how fluent Indians are in English. 🤩
English is their 2nd languange, so..
@varkey42 you are trapped between cultures too white to be indian too indian to be white. You identify with both culture but they dont accept you. I've felt that before, but you need to stand up for yourself and walk away, if that's not possible defend yourself. Be assertive and do not allow yourself to be treated badly, this is hard to do. Therapy may be a good tool for you.
XxaidanxX sniperz in other words, an ABCD. a common problem, unfortunately. But here’s a quick tip, therapy WILL NOT help with culture/ethnic dysphoria of any kind. if at anything it’ll just make it worse. You don’t want to end up losing both cultures altogether, it’s better to just try to find a balance yourself.
@@c-lexis8747 it's not cultural dysphoria its lack of assertiveness allowing the kid to be bullied.
varkey42 be strong dude 💪🏼
Thank you so much for your video.
Those people said lots of very good, right things. I feel so sad that something that given to you by birth, like a naturally healthy beautiful skin, could be a reason to treat you better or worse, especially as a guy in vid said, it wasn't something you earned or not something you have chosen. The beauty comes in all shapes and form and I hope one day there would be a big big global trend to be yourself, be healthy and love others around you and treat them with kindness.
Fair girls = fair babies as per Indian marriage standards.
Yes
Lol
A certain uncle's whole family is pretty dark but he got married to a fairer lady and got kids who were not fair but still a little brown and the whole family celebrated for having fair kids in the family. What do I say about Indian complexes.
And that's called survival of fittest. Those fair babies would have a upper hand in dating and mating. So obviously people have choices.
@@CroqueMonsieur42 Until the fittest lose their strength.
Have you ever asked Koreans about this.. As far as I know they are the ones mostly obsessed with white skin.. But every country has that thing..
Too true!!! Koreans are too obsessed with Fair Skinned.
Lakshmi Kimmu Chinese and Japanese’s too! But mostly, they were naturally fair but want to be as white as paper!
@@arn2631 It's an OBSESSION in EVERY RELIGION & RACE. All over the world it's a "thing". True also what you said about Chinese & Japanese wanting to be fairer. Sad but it's life.
it is a thing even in EUROPE where everyone is already on the lightest end of the skin color spectrum. A few centuries ago women used to cut themselves and bleed in order to rid of redness in the skin achieve a paler loor. While minority prefer to tan, majority seem to wrongly perceive lighter color as better suited for our species
Lakshmi Kimmu wow 😮
India's obsession is nothing when compared to China.

Wow, How smart these youth are!
What a great video! Many people of all different "colors" might not also know or be aware that there is discrimination within "fair-skinned" peoples. I was teased and made fun of throughout all of my childhood and on into adulthood being a "redhead". In fact, all redheads are. It's not ever anyone's favorite at all among "fair-skinned" people. Getting beat up as a little kid just for being a redhead was commonplace. And I'm sure even now in 2022. Being "Pink with Orange Hair" is something I learned "own" because you are at a very young age classified as a "Redhead", "Carrot-Top", "Ginger"....as a societally imposed badge/ label, life long label. Ask any redhead anywhere in the world, they will tell you. So there it yet another layer of the cake we call "humans". :) Love this video! Well done! Cheers!
Hmm. You are right. I have seen a few videos about red head people complaining of bullying. I feel bad for them too.
The guy in black shirt is one sensible guy. hats off to him.
Yes so many here like him but not all
Hellow lord
The girl in the red shirt is stunning. I'm so sad to hear she was bullied

Asian Boss: Why Indians so obsess with white skin
Me : Look who is saying Korea and Japan has more than that.
I live in Ontario, Canada for 5 years now. And there was a controversy here because some fairness cream were being sold on the market, some even went to prison! While in India, fairness cream is everywhere. There's a difference between a face makeup and a cream that's supposed to make you fairer or whiter by applying it your whole life! I wish actors like Nawazuddin Siddiqui with real majority Indian skin tone gets appropriate role in Bollywood. I don't care what anyone says, a Bihari teacher played by Hrithik Roshan is not okay with me. People, you are beautiful just the way you are🥰.
Prison???!???
I want to visit India! The way they express themselves everything from tone to body language amazes me! They make me feel happy and energized. Sigh
Definitely visit! A really beautiful place!
That's why i watch indian tv series sometimes,it makes me happy 😁

I’ve learned so much from this video.
I'm from India and I would like to comment that as you go more towards the southern part of India, this perception changes. The northern guys and girls are usually fairer and hence the perception of beauty is linked to fairness. But having stayed in Mumbai my whole life and then shifting to Hyderabad for job, I have firsthand seen the shift in the attractiveness factor. In south, I don't think much weight is given to the fairness of a person. Even though the industries say otherwise, I have seen people falling in love despite of anyone's skin color. And I guess as days goes by, I am observing the same in the northern parts too.
Yeah because north indians are naturally fairer than south so south love their dark skin and north their light skin. That's a reason a dark person can face problems in North.
Damn seems like Indian youth is really smart
Smartest from all the youth of other countries..

@@intermilan9731 yeah? What's your reason for believing that they are scripted.

I think the whole standard of india having fair skin as a trend, because of india being colonised by Britain they told india you having to be white to be beautiful
I'm a 16yr old Indian girl and I'm hopeful that India is going to change in the near future since the young parents are very optimistic and they are welcoming to logic
lol! Keep dreaming... No matter how you look at it or whereever you look at it fair skin is the standard. In India it is and it will always be the standard or no products will sell. And they are a multi billion dollar industry. Common people will not and cannot do nothing about it.
Young parents are logical? lol, beauty products have the highest sales in this decade more than ever. And it will raise because it is the young who will always use it. Not the old!
But anyways nothing is going to change. You choose what you have to do.
@@crombajaa ok first of all your whole respond is ew. There’s nothing wrong with thinking optimistically but honestly I feel like India and other countries will be forced to think differently as media(as in worldwide too) is changing and now more available even to younger people which in turn can educate. No one is born thinking fair is better but it’s learned. There will most definitely be a change even if you not alive to see it.
Edit: an example of a change is literally fair and lovely. They changed their name to glow and lovely or something which even though isn’t much of a change, it’s still a change where people realized how wrong the name was. Remember fair and lovely is known by mostly everyone is Asia so it’s a pretty big company so for them to do that extreme like changing their whole brand name is significant. Then again, we can most definitely improve and grow.

Well...being fluent in English has nothing to do with being smart. I have seen really smart people who aren't fluent in English. Infact my English teacher used to say that English is simply a skill.....nothing different from leaning to repair your car in case it breaks down in a remote place.
Ya but in many countries the people are not able to speak English

@J OneLife it's there but now a days people are developing and leaving this system, and many seats are reserved for low caste. It will take time but few people don't even understand that it's wrong. Foreigner media needs to talk about this issue seriously. Maybe then people will understand there mistake.
Yes they are iitians
As an Indian I feel positive after watching this. Coz truly I believe people of younger generation arr changing and it will surely get better with time. We aren't as concerned about skin color as our grandparents were and I believe with 2-3 generations down the line it will be way better.
I'm Indian and Jamaican proud to be half Indian man
And here in America we’re obsessed with being tan hence spending millions of dollars on tanning products 🤦🏻♀️ so basically we’re never happy with what we have
Right? Especially those that are pale white then end up looking like a burnt orange. It's not natural and it doesn't look good. :/
i think u mean billions not millions
790757 6743 Uhg i know! I tried it once as I’m very fair so I just wanted to get a little bit of color but ended up looking like a pumpkin 🎃🙄
Well it really depends on the person, it's on you to love yourself and love the skintone you've been born as.
Not Today it really has to do with the society we live in, when they keep saying “fair is beautiful” or “tan looks more attractive” people fall into that. Some people even get rejected within their own community or what’s worst within their families

It's true that individuals with dark skin, especially females face many hardships in India and luckily it hasn't worsened with time but as I have gotten more immersed in international culture I have realised that India's beauty standards are not as harsh and strict as other nations. Nobody would notice if you were bare face, wearing pyjamas, a messy bun.
