Guess who whitening cream brands are swarming next for their adverts? Iqra Aziz. The Tabeer<\/strong> actress is the latest celebrity to be approached with endorsements for a whitening cream.<\/p>\n

The petite bombshell just straight up said no (that’s how you do it!).<\/p>\n

Iqra\u2019s fiance actor Yasir Hussain made the whole situation public in an Instagram post, dotting over his lady love for her decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love you even more for what you did yesterday.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He explained how he feels it’s important to highlight this.<\/p>\n

“Kal iqra ne aik (whitening cream) ka advertisement karny se mana kar dia jo society mai complex phelany k Bohot sary paisy bhi offer kar rahy thy . Juratmandana aur sahi Qadam uthaya aap ne<\/em> ??\u2764\ufe0f (Yesterday Iqra refused to do an advertisement for a whitening cream, that had offered a huge sum of money for promoting this complex in society. That was a brave step and the right step)”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the end, the\u00a0Karachi Sey Lahore<\/em><\/strong> actor advised people to accept themselves, skin color and all, and be happy with the way they are.<\/p>\n

\u201cAllah ne jesa banaya hai us main khush rahen\u00a0<\/em>(Be happy with the way God has created you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some celebs were slammed for supporting these products<\/h3>\n

A while ago, Yakeen Ka Safar<\/em><\/strong> star Sajal Aly irked fans when she took up a television commercial (TVC) for ‘Fair and Lovely<\/em>‘. People condemned Aly for running with a regressive ideal.<\/p>\n

Do you think Pakistanis have gotten over their ‘Gora complex?<\/em>‘ Sure we all face the occasional rishta aunties who suggest that a fairness cream works. However, most people no longer think being fair should be counted an as an achievement.<\/p>\n

All we can say is, kudos to Iqra Aziz for slamming that fairness cream endorsement. Hope more celebs do the same and combat the perception that being white is beautiful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
