Recently, Indian actress Krystle D'Souza sat down for an interview with News18 Showsha where the star shared how she was judged for her skin colour. Claiming: “I received this advice that I should wash myself with milk so that my skin looks fair.
Disclosing a lot of unnecessary suggestions from people in the past, which continues to date, on how she can look fairer. She was quoted as saying:“People gave me a lot of free advice in the past and they still do. I've also been called dusky. I remember receiving this advice that I should wash myself with milk so that my skin looks fair. I kept thinking to myself that I'm allergic to milk, toh uska kya? I didn't want to be gora. I'm an Indian. I'm very, very desi and I love my skin colour. Why should I become fair?"

Krystle D'Souza shares she was told to change her eye colour and wore brown contact lenses for ten years
In the same conversation, Krystle revealed that she was even called out for her eye colour. People suggested that she would only get the villain role with her green eye colour. As a result, she wore brown contact lenses to shoot for ten years of her career. However, the actress said she won't believe any such advice now and knows how to deal with people who troll her looks. She said: "My eyes are green. From 2008-2009 to 2019 when I did Fittrat, I wore brown lenses every day of my life because they said I won't look like a positive character if my eyes are green. I don't know why but I believed them and put on dark brown lenses for almost ten years. If anyone tells me anything like this today, I'll never believe or give in to them because now I know that you can see the honesty in people when you look into their eyes."
