The ‘Gora Complex’ In Pakistani celebrities

Turkish star Burak Özçivit has recently been collaborating with J. Fragrances. He recently visited Pakistan for this collaboration and attended a fan’s meet-and-greet event.

In this recent meeting, Yasir Hussain called out celebrities for propagating the ‘Gora Rang’ mentality by using makeup to appear lighter than their skin tone.

He addressed this colonialism mentality in his bold story on Instagram. He poked fun at the fair complexion complex of the celebrities for trying to appear even lighter than Turkish actor Burak Özçivit.

In his social media post, he penned down ‘Gory rung ka zamana kabhi ho ga na Purana’

Yasir Hussain’s call out is a reminder that celebrities are credited with building up the trends of the generation.

They have considerable influence on the youth and should propagate values that are positive and promising. Self-acceptance should be promoted more than harmful self-imagery.

Yasir Hussain is known for his outspoken personality. He has many contributions to the media industry, having several hit dramas and films under his belt.

In Pakistan, as with many parts of the world, the ‘fairness complex’ has been prevalent in the past couple of centuries due to the colonialism of the British Empire.
