Celina Jaitly has expressed her sentiments for young girls who grapple with disparaging remarks about their brown skin tone, and an aspiration to emulate Barbie`s appearance. She has fervently advised against the pursuit of a plastic doll-like visage and has emphasized the inherent beauty in every skin hue. The actress disclosed that her response was prompted by a girl`s heartfelt message, wherein the girl expressed disdain for her own brown complexion. Accompanied by a stunning self-portrait, Celina elaborated on this poignant interaction, quoting the girl: "Didi I hate my brown skin…." The teenager`s candid confession served as a catalyst for Celina to craft a version of her photograph aimed at redefining perceptions of beauty.
The actress recounted the girl`s plea in her note: "Didi I want to look like you and I want be a real Barbie who is fair and has your eye. I hate my brown colour skin and black eye and hair. Everyone making fun of my dark colour with my aunty from neighbours house ppl call me brown bakri (goat). How can I be like you Why am I like this?" Celina attributed this narrative to the aftermath of the prevailing Barbie trend and contemplated the scarcity of authentic and inclusive representations of various ethnicities and races across social media platforms. She highlighted the troubling whitewashing trend seen in AI-generated Barbie renditions, reflecting on her own role in shaping beauty ideologies.
