Foreigners-White-Skin-Gets-Them-Cancer---Sai-PallaviThough Sai Pallavi wasn’t the first actor who rejected endorsing a fairness cream through advertisements, her long explanation why she chose not to endorse a fairness cream will leave you in awe of the actress for her responsible behaviour.

She needs just three chapatis or rice when she goes home, every day. What would she do with the money she earns endorsing a fairness brand when she knows the impact such advertisements would have on teenagers?

She gave the example of her sister who was 5-years younger, and who used to think that she wasn’t as fair (complexion wise) as Sai Pallavi. The ‘Fidaa’ actress advised her sister to eat fruits and vegetables claiming that they would make her fairer. Though Sai Pallavi’s sister didn’t like them, she used to eat them believing her sister. Hmm!

That’s the skin colour mania in our country where people fail to understand that it’s our natural skin colour and we can’t be as fair (skin tone) as the foreigners whose white skin can cause cancer. Proud that Sai Pallavi rejected the Rs. 2 crores offer a couple of months ago for endorsing a fairness cream.
