Remembering Taunts About Skin Tone

While talking to Ashnoor, Pranit disclosed the hurt he endured over his complexion.

He said, "Jab main chota tha mujhe humesha bola jaata tha ke tum dark ho, toh tum kahin kum ho. Aur sab chidhaate the, toh tabhi mujhe bahot bura lagta tha ke yaar ye cheez toh mere haath mein thi bhi nahi. Aur uss cheez ke liye mujhe kyun bol rahe hain." (When I was a child, people often told me that because I was dark-skinned, I was somehow lesser than others. Everyone used to tease me, and it really hurt because my skin colour was never something I had control over. I couldn't understand why I was being judged for something so natural.)

He explained that those experiences shape how he treats people now.

"That's why, even on this show, you must have noticed that I never fat-shame anyone or say anything hurtful. Because I know how deeply such comments can affect a person," he stated in Hindi.

Bullied for Language Confidence Too

Pranit also opened up about being mocked for not speaking English during his school and college days.

"When I was in school and college, I didn't have the confidence to speak up, and I didn't even know English. On top of that, people would make you feel that if you don't speak English, you don't know anything, and then they would comment on your looks too," he added.

Social feeds filled with memes, angry posts and emotional reactions, even as Pranit stayed composed.
