Geeta has a distinct look, but I’m more drawn to Punam Sinhu’s style. Very classically Indian, but not giving in to the need to photoshop everything either! Love the khaki/gold of her choli, and the jasmine on pulled-back hair.
Looks Good!
I don’t think you got the underlying issue that I was trying to address. Geeta has Leukoderma, localized loss of pigmentation on her skin.
You can see that Geeta’s hands have those symptoms.
It would have been so easy for to them to have removed the spots using photoshop, but they did not, I am sure it was becaus of Geeta’s insistance. If she had not approved the final picture, it would not have been used.
In a place where the skin tone is on the darker side, this is a huge issue, especially for a woman of marraigable age.
One of the woman, somebody who became very close to me and still think of her fondly, had this issue and she dealt with it by using makeup.
Yes, some would say that she used a little more make up than others, but she needed to.
And one day one of our crass and insensitve relatives came to visit and she just kept staring at her, like she was some sort of unworthy freak, I just got a glimpse of it and it made me mad and I enaged her in a conversation just to get her glare away from my friend.
And I remember the tears in my friend’s eyes.
As a society one needs to transcend this issue and I was admiring how beautifully and wonderfully Geeta Hinduja has done this.
