Zee TV has been known for its fiction shows which narrate the social causes. Popular show like Saat Phere has taken up the cause of color differentiation being practiced in the country.
And now we hear that another of Zee’s primetime show Afsar Bitiya will be seen highlighting the issue yet again. As seen, lead protagonist of the show Krishna (Mitali Nag) despite being a Block Development Officer is facing a lot of humiliation owing her dark skin. In the current track, Krishna's dark complexion has become a bone of contention for her in-laws and their relatives who disgrace and humiliate her openly.
Mitali Nag, the lead actress of the show who has been a victim of this social injustice in real life as well, shared her real experiences and said, "To start with, I wouldn't have been in Afsar Bitiya had I been fair. Having said that even I had to face a lot of rejections in my career because of my dusky skin tone! Surviving in an entertainment industry which is obsessed with white skin is not easy”.
Further she added, “As a child I was conscious of my complexion, but looking at super models like Naomi Campbell and Noyonika Chatterjee gave me hope to make a mark in an industry which is obsessed about looks and filled with biases. The credit goes to my parents who made me believe that beauty is skin deep".
Hope it spreads some right awareness among all!
