‘We’re a colonised people’: Simi Raheal criticizes industry’s obsession with whitening injections

In an interview with The Current, Simi Raheal shared her thoughts on the industry’s obsession with fair complexion. “We are such ‘colonised’ people; the entire industry has changed its colour with whitening injections, and you are asking me this question,” she commented.

Many celebrities now have significantly different skin tones compared to when they first started their careers, highlighting a trend in the industry.

When asked are why are we colonised,
Raheal said, “Our society isn’t aware, despite getting an education. An education doesn’t just mean that you can read ABC. Education means expanding your thoughts, seeing other people, accepting them, and enjoying their diversity. Till the time we don’t learn this, we will remain colonized.”

The veteran actress is currently starring in ‘Umro Ayyar’, now screening in cinemas.
