Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and kannada. Samantha works in Tamil and Telugu Industries. Which is more like Bollywood when comes to fair skinned actress. While Malayalam film industry is different from the rest in this matter. Next time do some research before jumping into the comments section.

Not the ones imported from north just because of fair skin. All these actors can actually act. They have talent hence they are remaining as heroines.

      Yeah. The double standard is appalling. Film setting always about Tamil guys proud of their dark skin and sing praises Tamil culture, but at the same running after fair skin Northie/ Non Tamillian. It's to feed their male chauvunistic ego that fair skinned women fall in love and want to make babies with them. Amy Jackson period really made me stop watching Tamil movies for a while.

      3. These action packed movies are catered to men, in a 2hr movie a guy will not sit and try to the inner beauty of that women in theatre.
      4. Men do like women who don’t argue, who are fun and all. To which this video lady is calling dumb. So Sakura it’s her who is calling girls in movie dumb. There are women oriented movies aswell, in which the character of that lady is the main thing, I’m sure while making this comment she forgot about that.
      5. It’s not just Indian or south indian, 90% of black male in usa prefer white women. Make white women have also started preferring men from different culture, or make female actresses in india date white men.

      @Aman Panwar not really. One can say that majority of people find fair skin prettier but not all not even most of them. Beauty is subjective. Yes blue eyes i would say are adored by almost everyone but blonde hair are hardly acknowledged as attractive and as far as skin color is concerned, its subjective I haven't seen anyone say black is attractive but then pale isn't considered attractive either, rather there is a part of the world and it makes up the larger part which considers fair better and a part which considers tanned or brown color better.

      Not only that we have women lead movies but those movies gained great recognition .
      Women in malayalam are considered super stars.
      For example most of the roles manju warrier, parvathy etc do today are women centric.
      And many times they are paid more that lead males in the movie.

      @Aman Panwar do you think there are really no "fair skinned" or good looking South Indian women? South Indian women whether fair or not are not look forward to because film industry here is incredibly patriarchal and orthodox culture regarding local women because they women, here tend to adhere to native customs and decency(see Sai pallavi) which is a hindrance to the smooth functioning of the majority masala movie ecosystem of Telugu-Tamil industry where women are needed nothing more other than for eye candy and just obey. With native South women you cannot treat them the same way lightly as it's done with North Indian women. You just don't understand the culture here. South women if they acted like North Indian women in South they will be shamed and regard her as just uncultured and characterless. North Indian do not belong to our society and really don't matter to the people here if they really are characterless either. Same is not true for South Indian women.

I too don't have very nice interaction with every North Indian or any other person either(like you) but the difference is I don't hate them to the core, I'm not really that sensitive. North and South India are indeed too very broad fields and generalising these two regions into assumptions only an unintiated would put his luck up with. South India relatively is far more civilized and level headed with what? North India. Nothing can be generalised but this is where we are trying to analyse both this population to our mere human understanding. South is conservative regarding it's own people that's why South Indian celebrities are all so polite and decent and not as open minded and brash even promiscuous as Mumbai Delhi. Natives and Outsiders have different lenses people judge on here. If you're South Indian you know how to talk and behave in South culture if you want to seen as completely respectful by Southerners, i.e, be like us otherwise people will take you lightly or ignore you subconsciously. In North India this mostly doesn't exist and people generally are more unorganised that's why South Indian film industry exploits North Indian as much this could not happen with South because South Indian women are too rigid and traditional.

South India is blessed with so many uniquely, gifted beautiful women (and men) yet the film producers always opt for european western looking "actors" rather than actually looking for talent. It's such a shame, I really hope that future tamil/telugu movie directors abandon these current colonial standards of beauty.

    The age gap between the lead pairs has been common in film industry since long time. And ofcourse the obsession with skin color. Well its purely my opinion and its just a thought that I would like to share that even the male actor might in a lot of pressure because they have to work hard on their physical fitness even at the age of 55 or 60 so they can suite the character but another question arises that do they object when they are cast alongside an actress who is much younger to them. I also find it sometimes cringey when I see this type of casting especially when the actresses play the role of a mother of much older actor. Yes something must be done to give more chances to the local speaking actresses irrespective of their color in movies. I think the audience are now getting mature and are now looking for talented artists instead of other factors.

There are a lot of dark skinned North Indians out there but I don't see any of them getting casted as lead roles in any of the so called Bollywood films either. It's all about India's obssession with fair skin. As we all know, India's a diverse Country and there are people with different skin tone from lighter to darker shades everywhere here. So when you talk for dark skinned people, talk for all Indians in general and not just for South Indians. North or South, we are all Indians and it shouldn't matter at all anyway.

    In Kannada, most popular female leads are Rachita Ram, Radhika pandit, Rashmika Mandanna, Pranita Subhash etc etc. all are kannadigas. There are female leads from other states too but most popular ones are kannadigas. It is ok to hire to non-kannadigas- that’s equal opportunity! But, so far the ones who connect with mainstream kannada movie goers are kannadigas. It has more to do with their kannada fluency, accent and ability to capture the emotion.

    My family was once went to Andhra Pradesh, and one of the sisters (a south Indian woman, who herself was not fair skinned) told another sister, that coloured man (my father, he is dark skinned man. We are from Bengal, Eastern Part of India), would not give up his seat( that he paid for, to seat with his family, me & my mother). So the sisters could get a seat that was not near the loo (we were in a train). India is just filled with such casual everyday colourism.

I didn't deny it exists in those other countries. I said it is not nearly as socially present as it has been in the subcontinent since the British came. Culturally, we have had gods who were dark skinned and were deemed handsome for it, so whatever prejudice existed before was very limited and isolated as it is in those countries outside the subcontinent too. The Europeans, primarily the British and the Germans were the inventors of the skin based racial segregation and you say they're not responsible for what they left behind on our society. I suggest you read some actual books instead of Wikipedia and Urban dictionary.

I didn't say they were solely responsible but they were solely responsible for developing it as a mainstream element of the Indian social mindset which is what comes to be reflected in our media and films.

My aunt even lamented, stating that I would have been good looking if only my skin was fairer. Lighter skin typically equals good looking, and as a consequence people try to bring them down out of pettiness.

    Hey! A "North-Indian" here... I've been watching movies and every form of entertainment media from a very young age, since I didn't have an environment in our family where we would have conversations and would share our feelings and express emotions. So, in a nutshell, movies have been an outlet for me and my emotions to feel validated and alive.
    As a teen, in high school, it was because of my sister I was introduced to the South Indian Film Industry, starting from Allu Arjun and Hansika Motwani in "Desamudru", in Hindi - "Ek Jwalamukhi" (translation - one volcano 😅) or maybe it was Arya's "Aa Ante" song. Nonetheless, I was invested in South Indian movies as well like my sister.
    The fair skin obsession which Bollywood have, was evidently present in South Indian movies. I really used to wonder coming at a point of short analysis or just wondering that how South Indian actresses can be so fair-skinned while we all knew that South Indian people are mostly dark-skinned. From there after, I was introduced to the "women are born beautiful". Then girls are beautiful and they are supposed to, especially in rich families.
    I mean, the obsession with making women and especially young girls, which is very concerning, to look attractive is seriously toxic, now I realise. There's one advertisment from Himalaya Face Wash product that features a teenage girl being concerned with a pimple on her face, that made felt so cringe. This is not right for any kid, let alone girls only.
    Thank you for your video. I came across an information that I wasn't really aware of until now. Though I knew the background of Tamanna and the surname of Kajal Aggarwal used to baffle me that how these actresses are called "South Indian actress" when they simply are not.
    The point should be to feel okay with both fair and dark skin/complexion. If you're treating me and others around you well, I don't require anything more from you to feel comfortable with and from you to have a harmonious relationship.

It's not about North Indian and South India. Even we have discrimination between North East and rest of india. Discrimination is everywhere. We can get rid of all these discrimination only after we visit these place and live there. I attended marriage, visited my friend's house and able to know alot about their culture. As a young generation we can get rid of these discrimination. The day we love someone acting instead of his or her color we will bring that change.
