She’s in a bikini, she’s at the beach, and she’s with her little brother. You go ahead and write a headline, ‘SRK’s daughter flaunts her body.’ Is it a little cheap? Maybe I feel it. I reached out nicely and said, man, your website won’t run on my daughter’s bikini body, can you remove it? People see where I’m coming from. My daughter is a bit awkward about it. He’s 16, yaar. And the headline that some sites use is. wow We are very liberal people and even laugh about it. But it’s still awkward.”

Immigrating at the age of 16 was the best decision of my life. Living in a different environment and meeting a lot of new people helped me gain a lot of confidence.

I realized quite early on that it was different for us. But I never really thought about my dad being famous. When I was about five years old, he would come and drop me off at school, and people would point and stare. He is not called as Suhana’s father, that’s what I want. It confuses me. He wanted to hug me, and I would push him back into the car. I hate attention, it makes me very self-conscious.”

A lot of things are happening right now and this is one of the issues we need to solve!! this is not just about me, it’s about every young girl/boy who has grown up feeling inferior for no reason. Here are some of the comments made about my appearance. I’ve been told I’m ugly because of the color of my skin, by grown men and women, since I was 12 years old. Apart from the fact that they are real adults, the sad thing is that we are all Indians, which automatically makes us brown – yes we come in different colors but no matter how much you try to stay away from melanin, you can’t . Hating your own people means you are very insecure. I am sorry if social media, your Indian soulmate or your own family has convinced you, that if you are not 5″7 and fair you are not beautiful. I hope it helps to know that I am 5″3 and brown and I am very happy about it and you should be too. #endcolourism.”
