Greetings!!
The race for innovations and for gaining fair skins might never end. These days, however, men have also fallen prey to this madness. What was earlier considered, "Strong, Dark and Handsome" has now been replaced with "Fair and Lovely"!!
This image shows our beloved cricket star Mr. Shahid Khan Afridi. This ad has been showcased on a number of billboards across the country. Evidently, the advertisers of Fair and Lovely men's range of products have tried to extend an impression that Mr. Shahid Khan Afridi actually uses the product himself which is why he is all fair and radiant.
I am at a complete loss to understand how fair can fair, good-looking pathans get, even with the use of such creams! Mr. Shahid Khan Afridi, being a pathan, is pretty fair by default. This ad actually makes me question the capability of this cream - if it works only on fair men, then it is useless for the dark, under confident individuals ashamed of their skin colors.
For a fact, the madness for fair skins have developed looking at the starchy western beauties, even though the dark women and men seem to have more attraction. A need for whitening products have been created by advertisers by building on the hypnosis that "white is beautiful". I believe people have been misled into believing so, since the saying has forever been, "Black is beautiful"
We have been designed by the Almighty in the best of architectures. Aiming to change something in ourselves is like challenging the perfection of the Almighty. We need to realize we are annoying our Creator when we act foolishly trying to alter our features.
Peace.
