Deepika Padukone makes amends after flak over fairness cream endorsements

Many Bollywood stars have been at the receiving end of hate and criticism for endorsing fairness cream brands in the past and promoting the toxic culture of colourism and racism.

Deepika Padukone had been one of the many who drew flak over her past involvement. However, the Padmaavat actor revealed that she has now distanced herself from those brands as she expressed regret over her past decisions.

A source was quoted saying by DNA: "Not only did Deepika accept these mistakes and expressed her regret over it in the past, but with the same realisation, the actress had also sprung into action and dropped those categories (fairness creams and colas) from her kitty.”

When asked about her skincare routine, she had also confirmed that she no longer utilizes fairness products.

"I don't follow any routine as such. I just make sure I use a good night cream and always take off my make-up,” she said during an interview.
