All hell broke loose when Abhay Deol slammed several Bollywood biggies for endorsing fairness creams. The debate became so huge and even caught Sonam Kapoor’s attention for all the wrong reasons.
Now, Priyanka Chopra who is back in town, came to the forefront and spoke on the ongoing matter.
Abhay Deol had posted on his Facebook, "There's a lot more of these campaigns that are blatantly, and sometimes subtly, selling you the idea that whiter skin is better than darker skin. No one at the top of their game in any field is going to tell you that it is demeaning, false, and racist. You have to see that for yourself. You have to stop buying into the idea that a particular shade is better than others. Unfortunately if you look at matrimonial ads you will see how entrenched in our psyche this belief is. We even use the word 'dusk' to describe the colour of someones skin! While an individual may not be able to change this attitude in his/her community, he/she can at least start with the family."

Speaking on the fairness cream debate, Priyanka said, "I endorsed a fairness cream many years ago, for about 12 months, and then I realised that's not like how I felt. After that I never endorsed fairness creams."
Recently the actress was seen partying with many B-town celebrities in Mumbai.
On the work front, Priyanka Chopra will be seen playing an antagonist in Baywatch. The movie is slated to release on May 25.
