Actor Amrut Subhash recently recalled how he once faced colorism in school, who assured her that she was not ‘beautiful’. He said that a dance teacher in his school had rejected him from the dance group for not having ‘light skin and light eyes’. Amruta admitted that during her initial struggle in her acting career, she believed that ‘only fair women would become an actor’.
The actor opened about that color prejudice during his high school days and even asked his mother to make her ‘beautiful’ so that she would ‘appear in the dance audition’. ‘Lust Stories 2’ actor in an interview ZoomSaid, “We talk about women empowerment, but many times, a woman only hurts another woman. I always loved dancing. During her high school days, our dance teacher asked all beautiful students to come to dance auditions tomorrow. I went to my mother and asked me to make ‘beautiful’.”
Considering how the dance teacher’s comment on the ‘skin tone’ of the dance teacher made him unsafe about himself, Amrut further said, “I asked him to watch his dance.

My confidence was very low, and I started to believe that only fair women would become an actor,” she concluded.
