Vaani Kapoor is one of the gorgeous actresses in the industry. The diva began her career with Shuddh Desi Romance and went on to star in some notable films. However, her journey has not been easy.

Vaani Kapoor on colour bias
In an interview with News18, she recalled, “I haven’t been told directly, but information reaches via other people. A filmmaker had once said that I wasn’t fair enough to land a role. He said that I wasn’t ‘milky white’. I told myself that it is what it is. If that’s a requirement, I don’t want to be a part of his projects. The feelings are completely mutual there.” Giving a befitting reply to such makers, the actress adds, “He can find his ‘milky white beauty’ or his ‘fair and lovely’ woman. I know that I can find a better filmmaker for myself. This happened ages ago. And that filmmaker wasn’t from Mumbai."
