"I WAS 14 AND THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME SOMEBODY MADE A COMMENT LIKE THAT " - MALAVIKA MOHANAN BREAKS FOR THE FIRST TIME
Home > Tamil Movies > Tamil Cinema NewsActress Malavika Mohanan was last seen in the 2019 movie ‘Petta’. The actress was highly appreciated by one and all for her performance as ‘Poongodi’ in the movie. She is currently gearing up for the release of her next movie ‘Master’, where she will be playing a crucial role.
The ‘Beyond the Clouds’ actress has now posted a latest statement on her Instagram, about her first experience with Racism and how she was only 14 when it happened to her.
Her caption read “When I was 14 yrs old, one of my closest friends at that point told me that his mother never let him drink tea because she had this weird belief that drinking tea darkened ones’ skin complexion, and when he asked for tea once she told him(referring to me) “If you drink tea, you will become dark like her”. He was a fair Maharashtrian boy and I was a wheat-ish skinned Malayalee girl.”
“The complexion dissimilarity we had had never even occurred to me up until that point. This left me perplexed because it was the first time somebody had made a comment like that with a mean undertone about my skin colour.”
She also added saying “So much casual racism and colourism exists in our own society. Calling a dark-skinned person ‘kala’ is something we see on an everyday basis. Dark-skinned Indians are jokingly referred to as ‘madrasis’ because for some strange reason these ignorant people think all South Indians are only dark skinned. North-East Indians are almost exclusively only called ‘chinki’, all black people are casually referred to as ‘negros’ and fair people are equated as beautiful and dark skinned people are equated as ugly.”
“While we speak about global racism, we must also become aware about what’s happening around us, in our homes, our friend circles and our society, and do our part in thwarting the obvious as well as the subtle racism and colourism that exists all around us, in our everyday lives. What makes you beautiful is being a good and kind person and not the colour of your skin. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿”, said Malavika.
This long and emotional post from the actress is sure to educate and imbibe some values onto the reader. Check out her post here:
