What's With The Face? Twitter Boils Over Bhumi's 'Fake Dusky' Skin Tone In Bala!

Almost everything becomes contentious nowadays despite having low significance! Talking about the fresh case of the portrayal of Bhumi Pednekar's 'Fake Dusky' skin tone in Bala trailer!

Main hun Mr. Bald ki dost, Ms. Bold!
Miliye mujhse, jald hi.😉#Bala trailer out at 12 noon!#DineshVijan@amarkaushik@ayushmannk@yamigautam@saurabhshukla_s@jaavedjaaferi#SeemaPahwa@nowitsabhi@SachinJigarLive@sonymusicindia@JioCinema@jiostudiospic.twitter.com/TBSCA3caAt

Bala trailer released and got us all thrilled over Ayushman's portrayal of a rather unaddressed issue of male pattern baldness.

Although we do agree to the fact that the make-up artist really ruined the make-believe tan. Dusky people do NOT look anywhere near that, but is it really worth debating over?
I mean, has Bollywood instinctively acted on prevailed prejudices like this for the first time?
Think about it!

Anyway, here's what Twitter had to say:

Yeah cus having a dark complexion and talent is unheard of?

Is it that hard to get a dark-skinned actress for a dark-skinned role??

Dear bsdk Bollywood,

Why did you have to paint bhumi’s face brown, Is there lack of brown girls in India!? Or dark skinned Women / artists who can do a better job,Wait afterall this is just Bollywood ! 😓
What can you expect😍  #Bala

What the hell is that makeup?

Also why does Bollywood keep casting fair skinned actors and paint their faces dark? And then give the msg that fair skin is not everything?

No dusky actors left in Bollywood kya? Brown face kar kar ke bhaga diya sabko? LOL. For a film talking about looks, this is so bloody shallow.

FYI, Bala and Ujda Chaman, another comedy flick addressing the same issue and with a lot of similarities in the stories are going for a face-off, having just a day's gap between their release!

Gonna be a tough choice for the audience eh?
