Deepika Padukone has a stern message for those who practice discrimination based on skin colour

Deepika Padukone is one of the highest-paid Bollywood celebrities.

Proudly, she is also the founder of ‘82°E’ - a skincare brand that sells products made using traditional Indian ingredients. While she continues to set new benchmarks in her career, the 37-year-old has a message for those who have posed unapologetic roadblocks in her path.

Deepika Padukone has a stern message for those who practice discrimination based on skin colour

Via an Instagram post, Vogue India bashed out a skincare product named ‘Pantone’ which allegedly does not cater to those born with brown skin. Vogue even mentioned that Pantone is ‘not a friend to Indian complexions.’

Appreciating the stand taken by Vogue India, Deepika Padukone dropped a comment on the post which read, “I couldn’t agree more!”

Unfortunately, in some parts of the world, dark-skinned people are often disregarded than those born with lighter-skinned ones.
