Mumbai, Aug 5 (IANS): A slew of actors are endorsing fairness products but actor Abhay Deol believes they "stoke the inferiority complex” amongst Indians.
“If Indians were 'White', would there be a 'Dark and Sexy'? Here are some brands to stoke our inferiority complex....,” he tweeted, along with a photograph featuring three products.
From Aishwarya Rai, Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra to Shahid Kapoor and Varun Dhawan - various actors have featured in advertisements for fairness products.
