MUMBAI: For all the household people, television is a new world where they find solace in. It is also a medium for all the people who need a break from their hectic daily chores and work life as it takes one to the realm of fiction shows.
Well, there are many television shows which truly entertain the masses and the audience cannot have enough of watching the shows. The one show which has recently been launched is Dil Ko Tumse Pyaar Hua on Star Plus. It features Aditi Tripathi and Akshit Sukhija in the leading roles. The show is about how Deepika faces mistreatment from her stepmother and stepsister until her life takes a different path after meeting her Prince Charming, a young doctor who wants to marry her. Deepika is dark skinned and hence she faces mistreatment all the more and there are many situations where varied characters comment on her skin tone and indirectly point out as being one of the prime reasons why they hate her.

Well, there are some people who have a different opinion and netizens have pointed out to showing racism in a world which is progressing to better things.
Palak Jain shares, “The actress playing Deepika isn’t even dark skinned and oh my god, in the start of the show her foundation was all over the place. The make-up done is very shabby.”
Mayank Sharma mentions, “ It is so disrespectful to people who are actually dark skinned. We are so obsessed with fairer shade that even our effort to diversify is misrepresented with a brown face.”
Meher Sangle adds, “When they need to cast someone with a more tan skin, they just use a naturally fair actress and put a darker shade foundation on her. It's so hurtful and misrepresented for the people of India.”
Nidhi Behl says, “Indian people are more on the browner shade and still we see all the actors/actresses with too much fair skin like why can't they diversify for once and use someone with the natural skin colour.”
Nidhi Shah expresses, “It is humiliating to see such behaviour being represented on dark skinned people. Is it necessary to promote racism in television shows?” (Also Read:Anupamaa: Anuj and Anupamaa finally get a beautiful LOVE STORY which they deserve - AUDIENCE VERDICT)
