Don’t endorse one skin tone over another: Sushant

ACTOR Sushant Singh Rajput says he doesn’t encourage the practice of endorsing one skin complexion over another.

The actor, who was present here at the trailer launch of his upcoming film Raabta, told media persons, “As an actor, or even as a responsible citizen, we should not, in any way, endorse one particular skin tone over another.”

Sushant’s comment comes after actor Abhay Deol slammed fairness cream advertisements featuring celebrities like Sonam Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham.

The trailer of Raabta was launched in the presence of director Dinesh Vijan and producers Homi Adajania and Bhushan Kumar, along with Kriti Sanon, Jim Sarabh and Sushant.

The film is set to release on June 9.
