In the post, she wrote that she had to listen to distant family members talks about her being dusky from the film she was ‘growing up’. She wrote, “Even though my mother is a dusky beauty and I look a lot like her. I never knew why that would be a discussion by distant relatives when I was a kid. Soon at 15/ 16 I started modelling and then I won the supermodel contest ... all newspapers read ... dusky girl from Kolkata is the winner. I wondered again why Dusky is my first adjective ???” [sic]
Bipasha Basu mentioned how her skin was considered exotic as she did a few modelling assignments abroad. She wrote how the adjective ‘dusky’ stuck with her when she came back to India and how her duskiness ‘attributed to her sex appeal’. She wrote, “Well you see I was confident and proud of who I was from childhood. My skin colour didn’t define me ... even though I love it and wouldn’t want it to be any different ever.” [sic]
