Suhana Khan, the daughter of Shah Rukh Khan, has come under fire for reportedly lightening her skin tone for a lipstick advertisement. Reddit users have discovered a poster of Suhana posing for the lipstick advertisement and are criticizing the company for supposedly “colour correcting” Suhana to make her seem fairer.
The poster was published with the comment “Suhana Khan color adjusted pro max. She has Ankita Lokhande’s appearance. Soon after the poster went viral, Suhana and the brand became the targets of internet snark.
“God forbid a woman is dusky in ads,” one person said. What the hell are these brands smoking now? Another person chimed in, “And that’s for a lipstick too! They might have had no trouble locating a hue that matched Suhana’s natural dark color tone. Isn’t it the entire goal of a reputable, global cosmetics company to be inclusive? Why did the company add pancake makeup on Suhana’s dark skin, asked a third user? It is not endearing.
Suhana Khan, the daughter of Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, already has a sizable fan base. She is prepared to make her acting debut in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies this year.
Along with Suhana, Khushi Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor’s sister, and Agastya Nanda, Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson, will make their acting debuts in The Archies. The Archies cast gave fans a sneak peek of the movie during the TUDUM event in Brazil. Suhana recently posted a flashback Reel on her Instagram account, reflecting on their unforgettable vacation to Brazil, heightening the anticipation. The film’s ensemble was shown having fun and getting ready on the streets of Sao Paulo in the reel. Suhana Khan traveled with co-stars Khushi Kapoor, Dot, Mihir Ahuja, Vedang Raina, and Yuvraj Menda as well as her rumored lover Agastya Nanda.
