SRK’s daughter Suhana Khan gives sassy reply to trollers for commenting on her skin colour
Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan spilled the beans on receiving hatred on social media for her skin tone and appearance.
She recalled when people called her ugly when she was just 12. Suhana added that it was sad, as Indians were brown by default, and hating your own people just means that you are painfully insecure.
Taking to her Instagram, Suhana shared her picture showing her smiling and soaking the Sun. She further shared some screenshots of hate comments on her skin shade by netizens.
She captioned the post, “There's a lot going on right now and this is one of the issues we need to fix!! this isn't just about me, it's about every young girl/boy who has grown up feeling inferior for absolutely no reason. Here are just a few of the comments made about my appearance. I've been told I'm ugly because of my skin tone, by full grown men and women, since I was 12 years old. Other than the fact that these are actual adults, what's sad is that we are all indian, which automatically makes us brown - yes we come in different shades but no matter how much you try to distance yourself from the melanin, you just can't. Hating on your own people just means that you are painfully insecure. I'm sorry if social media, Indian matchmaking or even your own families have convinced you, that if you're not 5"7 and fair you're not beautiful. I hope it helps to know that I'm 5"3 and brown and I am extremely happy about it and you should be too. #endcolourism”

Meanwhile, Suhana Khan has been receiving a lot of praise for giving a befitting reply to the trolls. While many criticised her father Shah Rukh Khan, who has been endorsing the fairness cream for so many years.
One of the users commented, “While I wholeheartedly agree with what #SuhanaKhan has said, #EndColourism should start from home. You can't complain to the society about the obsession your dad has been promoting for years!! If this doesn't expose the morals, or the lack thereof, in the film industry!!”
Another user wrote, “Well said #SuhanaKhan…Dark skin is not a badge of shame but rather a glorious masterpiece ..but shouldn't u be penning a note to your dad too to #EndColourism..coz he is the one promoting skin whiteners..To hell with such color prejudices..So practice what you preach.”
