In a recent interview, Bollywood actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya exposed the pervasive issue of racism in the film industry, sharing a personal experience where he was replaced in an advertisement just days before the shoot due to his dark skin. He recounted that the decision-makers explicitly stated, 'Nahi Dada, aapko replace kiya kyunki aap kaale ho aur kaala actor nahi chahiye,' highlighting the bias that still exists in casting choices. Bhattacharya pointed out that this issue reflects a larger societal problem, rooted in how individuals are conditioned from a young age. He stressed the importance of introducing social ethics and norms in primary education, arguing that without such foundational teachings, significant change cannot occur. He compared India's approach to education with countries like Japan and Korea, where children learn discipline and empathy early on. Bhattacharya's recent work includes appearances in Undekhi Season 4 on SonyLIV and the Netflix series Maamla Legal Hai 2, both of which have garnered mixed reviews.
