Indians obsessed with fair skin, light eyes, grumbles dusky star

Sameera Reddy, the dusky beauty from down South with a fading Bollywood career seems a bit piqued.
She grumbles that Indians are obsessed with a sense of beauty, implying that doesn’t leave much chance for those like her to score high in the film industry. It’s the cliched North Indian notion of light skin, light eyes, straight hair and slim figure, reminiscent of Kareena Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai etc. She feels its time people moved away from the mindset that dusky, voluptuous, dark eyed women are not as beautiful.
Sameera said that she thinks beauty in the traditional Indian woman is essentially warm skin tone (dusky), dark eyes with a bit of ‘oomph’ (curves). She takes the example of actress Madhuri Dixit. “When she smiles, there is nobody who can match her.” She also mentioned Kajol and from the newer lot Kareena, who she admits definitely has that “X factor." Sameera will be soon seen in a cameo in Prakash Jha’s ‘Chakravyuh’.
