I don’t like that advertisement of fairness cream. It actually haunted me a lot because in our country racism is a common thing and very crucial point to discuss but in the ad they just made it easier to acknowledge and made it easier, simply for example there is an ad where the girl did not get married because of her skin color and after using a fairness cream within seven days every boy boys like her and proposed for marriage that is so unrealistic and also disgusting. I think girls should be understand the beauty resides inside them not the outer quality is important. Yes it is true that appreciation comes from face. Face is the best letter of recommendation but it is not the entire thing. You have to understand that this kind of ads is like money making not true or it is not the proper way to describe things and also it is not the right way to show people about the dark skin color girls are a burden to their family member and they have to be fairer and something like that so I don’t like this kind of ad of fairness cream.

I don't like that advertisement for fairness cream. It actually haunted me a lot because in our country, racism is a common issue and a crucial point to discuss. In the ad, they made it easier to acknowledge and simply presented an example where a girl did not get married because of her skin color. After using a fairness cream, within seven days, every boy liked her and proposed marriage. That is so unrealistic and also disgusting. I think girls should understand that beauty resides inside them; the outer qualities are not important. Yes, it is true that appreciation comes from appearance. The face is the best letter of recommendation, but it is not everything. You have to understand that this kind of ad is about making money, not about truth. It is not the proper way to describe things, and it is not right to show that dark-skinned girls are a burden to their families and that they have to be fairer. I don't like this kind of fairness cream advertisement.
