Internet Is Divided Over Urvashi Rautela Toning Down Fairness For Films; Says “Hire A Dark Model”
Urvashi Rautela will be next seen in Daaku Maharaaj alongside Nandamuri Balakrishna!
In some films, certain roles come with specific requirements that can affect casting decisions. Sometimes, filmmakers choose to change the skin tone of fair actresses to brown for a character, which raises questions about why they don’t hire brown actors for those roles in the first place. Urvashi Rautela, who is busy promoting her upcoming film, Daaku Maharaj, revealed how she had to tone down her skin tone for films.
Urvashi Rautela On Directors Using Dark Makeup To Tone Down Her Skin Tone
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Urvashi talked about the makeup used for her films. She mentioned that in both Bollywood and the South Indian film industry, it’s common for directors to apply darker makeup to her. Urvashi explained that sometimes this darker makeup is needed for a character. However, she has never had an issue with it because she understands that the film is based on the director’s vision, and the character has to match that idea. She added that people often tell her to tone down her fair skin and go several shades darker. For example, during the filming of ‘Love Dose,’ Yo Yo Honey Singh suggested that she should make her skin tone ten shades darker.
