Sobhita Dhulipala is one of the most talented actresses in Bollywood. The diva never shies away from making her fans go gaga over her divine beauty, unfiltered opinion, and much more. Sobhita has been grabbing a lot of attention for her exceptional acting prowess in The Night Manager, Made In Heaven, Major, and so many others. However, recently, the diva opened up about the colour shaming that she had to face.
In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Sobhita Dhulipala was asked about her take on colour shaming. The diva shared that, from her point of view, a slightly dusky complexion is really attractive. Going further in the interview, Sobhita mentioned that one should always be confident about themselves, and if not, then no matter what they do, their skin or hair is not going to work. Sobhita mentioned:
"I personally think that slightly dusky colour is very beautiful and it’s what I find very attractive. Maybe the love for a lighter skin comes from a colonial hangover and it’s okay. There’s all kinds of skin colour across the spectrum. And I don’t think it has really bothered me to make me feel diminished. How we look is only one part of who we are. No matter how much you do something to your skin or hair, if you don’t feel confident as an individual, I don’t think you will feel confident. I think that is a very strong inner voice."

Going further in the interview, Sobhita stated that she is grateful for the opportunities that she got, which instilled a sense of confidence in her. The actress further stated that although her skin colour is a problem for a few, she never let it doom her inner confidence. Sobhita shared:
"I am fortunate to find opportunities and worked on characters that gave me that confidence. Even if some people might not take the way with my skin colour, I think of it as their taste, their opinion. Wo unka opinion hai. Mai usse apni kami ki tarah nahi samajhti.”
In the concluding segment of the interview, Sobhita Dhulipala shared that when she was doing several auditions for ad shooting, she felt that expectations for 'pretty' were narrow-minded. The diva further added that the women she found amazing looked different from the definition of the same back then. Talking about how her heroes don't fit stereotypes, Sobhita shared:
"When I was doing a lot of auditions for ads, at that time I had felt that the expectations for ‘pretty’ for those ads was a bit narrowminded. Some of the women whom I find amazing look a little different from that definition. So, my heroes don’t fit into the stereotype, but they are still my heroes. So, I was very interested in showcasing performance and in making people understand that I can deliver a character and that became my focus at the beginning. My first film and my initial few projects have been ‘parallel cinema or art house’. And I found great joy and confidence in that.”
