Never one to shy away from unnecessary hate, the Balaa star responded by expressing pride in her brown skin.”The amount of nonsense comments from my fellow brown-skinned Pakistanis about the colour of my hands in this picture. I drive, I walk in the sun, I am tanned. I am a BROWN PERSON.”
Furthermore, she called out the hypocrites who keep clinging to Eurocentric beauty standards. “My beautiful brown skin tanned hands look amazing with my pink nails why would I hide or filter [them]. Leave the servitude of the British, it’s been a long time to 1947,” she concluded.
Earlier, supermodel Mushk Kaleem talked about people who wished she ‘whitens up’ for shoots.
On the work front, Shah’s portrayal of a strong resilient woman in the drama serial Akhir Kab Tak has created a benchmark and was loved by the fans.
