Bengal actress lodged complaint over dusky skin

TIL Desk Tollywood/ At a time when the world is trying to unite against racism, promising Tollywood actress Shruti Das has lodged a complaint with the Kolkata Police alleging that she has been receiving a barrage of online hate comments regarding her “dusky skin tone” since 2019, after getting a break in Bengali serials.

In doing this, Das, 23, has possibly become the first person from the Tollywood industry to formally lodge a complaint against such a form of abuse.

Das, who is originally from the town of Katwa in Nadia district some 150 km from Kolkata, shifted to the city some two years ago. The actress alleged that she has been subjected to racist comments ever since she made it to the small screen in 2019.
