Three months ago, a high court judge in Chhattisgarh, hearing a divorce petition by a husband whose wife said he humiliated her for her dark skin, said it was time Indian society changed its “dialogue at home” to eradicate prejudice.
As if on cue, a new social comedy, Tera Kya Hoga Lovely (Unfair & Lovely), tackles this issue in the hope of nudging Indians into examining the longstanding preference for light skin.
