LAHORE: Pakistani actress Ushna Shah has highlighted the discrimination people face based on skin tone.
According to her, the Pakistanis should end their obsession with light skin tones. Ushna Shah took to Instagram and shared a picture of Nyma Tang, a famous American beauty vlogger, and praised her for calling out brands that do not make products for people of colour.
The 31-year-old wrote, “Dear [the majority of] Pakistanis, please get out of your enslaved colonial mind-sets because you are missing out on some serious beauty. I mean, just wow.”
