I agree.. I am Hindu and since I have seen her I have been obsessed with seeing her portray our Goddess Maha Kali Devi in a movie or photoshoot.

I was thinking super heroine, but goddess will do. :-)

Definitely. Wow.

Lol :)

LoL, You too? Me to and several have even prescribed my medication. It is like taking advice from someone who just got fired from their job, what can they advise you to do, but hump or have a backup plan, immediately! rotfl

Uber drivers ARE NOT cab driver. Cab companies have higher standards than Uber and cabbies can lose their license for discriminatory remarks.

Ha!

hahaha ^^ well sometimes cab drivers have good advices too but not this one clearly ^^ after her skin is so rare and amazing that naturally people will react, same for albinos or anyone with a specific body. Mine is so boringly normal ToT

sarcasm at its finest

😂😂😂

What? You would change the couleur of your skin if a cab driver told you to do so? If he told you to jump off a bridge would you? Or are you just joking?

If it actually happened...

Nice sarcasm sir, but no Uber driver said so. She is just an attentions whore and find the perfect publicity stunt.

Go get tanned!!! Oh wait...

He was very rude ,why would anyone need to bleach or ten their skin(and damage it by process),what ever skin color we are born with,it is beautiful,every single color.The world be very boring if everyone looked the same. My point of view is that every skin color and shade are perfect ,you are born with it love it \m/^_^\m/

please.....there are idiots everywhere. Some woman told me to change my Chinese daughter's name because it was too hard to pronounce. Who cares? shouldn't change the way you live your life. Everybody's got their two cents they want to put in, thinking that their opinion is the best. Seems like it's a thing today. My opinion is the only opinion that counts.

If you watch her interview with harry connick jr., he asks her about the uber driver situation and the driver NEVER told her to color her skin. He said, "can I ask you a personal question? Have you ever thought about bleaching your skin?" Watch the interview. He driver was intrigued with her. It was a harmless conversation

With the victim card being so valuable nowadays I would not be surprised if that had never happened.

Well it'd help for job and school applications.

Do you believe everything you read on the internet then get angry about it? :)

Well i've had an aunt tell me with the best of intentions to use chemicals to try and lighten my freckles so... Sigh.

"Surprised" perhaps because of the massive under representation of black people in the media/films, let alone those with very dark skin. :(

The point I believe is making people aware of how cruel one can be in saying such thoughtless things. Though I understand what you are saying to focus on the positive, I feel it's a journalist's job to make a difference in this world.

She is still breaking down barriers. As long as people think that it's okay to tell someone particularly dark that they should bleach their skin, there are still barriers that need to be broken down. It's obvious that this hasn't happened to her once, it's just the incident that made the title for whatever reason. Sensationalism. Whatever. But there are barriers and your point about their being black super models and stars (before and after her) are valid. These people will break down barriers too. Because they are still up.

She had also talked about being bullied at school for her skin colour

These articles would simply not be complete with the necessary victimhood added on top.
