Dare not put up a ‘dark; picture of yourself on matrimonial websites! Dark spells doom for girls hoping to meet their soul mates on match-making sites if they are not naturally light-skinned. Fair is lovely is what we’ve been fed over and over again by both the media and society.

Black is beautiful! One should always be confident and comfortable in their own skin without finding the need to go under the needle or fairness treatments!
