Actress Yami Gautam : 2013 Bollywood's Best Female Debut, Latest Victim of Twitter Trolls | Photos | Video

Stop the presses! The Indian twitterverse is now bursting with jokes on pretty and talented Bollywood actress Yami Gautam (see photo), particularly on her brand endorsement of the Fair and Lovely fairness (whitening) cream.

Here's the video that created the "storm":

Twitter trolls have dished out everything against the beautiful desi celebrity. Here's a sample tweet by "Niral" (@niralsoni): "How to convert Black money into White? Just tap them with Yami Gautam's cheeks". Some people are just so mean!

To tell you the truth, I personally believe that these jokes on skin color, especially against dark skin, is so unfair and stupid. Real beauty is skin deep, so they say. Prejudice against dark-colored people is so outdated. These views belong to uncivilized slave and medieval societies, to eras when black people are regarded as commodities and (un)holy crusades were launched against Islam. There is only one race: the human race!

Enough. To the delight of our readers, we are featuring the profile of Miss Yami Gautam (see photo).
