Popular actress Amruta Subhash has made a shocking revelation about being rejected in her early days solely because of her physical appearance. She shared that during her younger years, she was turned away from a dance group due to her skin and eye color, a painful memory that stayed with her for years.
“Not Fair Enough”: The Harsh Reality She Faced
According to Amruta, the rejection was explicitly tied to her complexion. “They told me I don’t fit their look — that I wasn’t fair enough or didn’t have the ‘ideal’ eyes for performance,” she said. This kind of colorism, unfortunately, is still prevalent in parts of the entertainment industry.
Struggles Didn’t Stop There – She Also Faced Sexual Harassment
In the same candid conversation, Amruta also spoke about her horrifying experience with sexual harassment in the film industry. Without naming anyone, she acknowledged that many aspiring actors, especially women, face exploitation and mental trauma behind the glamorous facade of the film world.
Advocating for Change and Courage to Speak Up
The actress emphasized the need for safer, more inclusive spaces in entertainment. She urged others to come forward with their stories, emphasizing that silence enables oppression. Her revelations contribute to ongoing discussions around the MeToo movement in India.
