Tuesday’s Thoughts: Prateik Babbar
Prateik's thoughts on a Tuesday
After a spate of not-so-good reviews for his newest film, Ek Deewana Tha, the young and hunky Prateik seems to be rather contemplative about his next step!
With link-ups to co-star Amy Jackson, not withstanding, the trade buzz is, that the film fizzled out and wasn’t a hit compared to the south Indian films, Tamil: Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa and Telugu: Ye Maaya Chesave, it was a remake of.
Here’s wishing one of our favourite stars a scoring goal for his next film!

Maybe next time he shouldn’t sign a racist movie where the director throws out the talented Trisha and replaces her with a foreign model even though the role clearly calls for a SOUTH INDIAN girl. I am happy this movie flopped. Indian girls already have a big complex about skin color. The last thing needed is to have all are top heroines as foreign models who do not look Indian. It will simply reenforce the idea that only gori is gorgeous and desi is ugly.
These filmmakers should have respect for our women and not keep giving roles to western models. Just reflects our backward Fair And Lovely mentality.

I don’t think that was the purpose Puja. Amy Jackson has been tanned or has used extremely dark make up to give her the appearance of a South Indian girl. Now, I haven’t watched the movie yet but I hardly doubt that they wanted to promote “fairer skin”. And bollywood has a number of fair skin leading ladies who are of Indian background – Kareena, Anushka, Karisma, etc. Filmmakers don’t need to bring in white girls to have a fair skin-tone girl.

Nabeela why does Bollywood need to bring in white girls at all? Why only white girls? Why do they never have white guys? Why do they never get African or Chinese girls? Only white girls right? Every film song has white girls in bikinis and short skirts dancing opposite Indian guys. Why do they never have Indian women as dancers opposite the Indian guys? It is a direct insult to Indian women.
I know many Indian girls who have a complex about their skin color because these days you have to look like Katrina or Nargis to be considered beautiful by our society. Earlier they were typical Indian beauties like Rekha or Madhuri or Kajol. Today even the naturally dusky actresses like Priyanka lighten their skin tone because Bollywood thinks that typical Indian female looks as ugly and inferior and always gets actresses who look Gori or who are Gori.
Why do they need to bring in girls like Nargis or Amy who do not look Indian or know how to act or speak Hindi? It is racism plain and simple. It caters to the Fair and Lovely backward mentality of our country. It is 100% illogical to get a British model to play a Malayali.
