Not fair, is it?

A new OTT show delves into Indian society's fixation with fairness and the unsettling consequences it may have for many

Have you ever attended a wedding or party and been greeted by relatives with concerned looks and questions about the dark colour of your skin? I have lost count of the number of Indians who have shared stories about being taunted for not having fair skin. Some have received unsolicited advice on how to lighten their skin by using ointments, avoiding the sun, and even abstaining from drinking tea.

The obsession with fairness in Indian society is explored in the second season of Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti’s OTT show, Made in Heaven, which is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
