But Not Too Black | |
| Margarita with a Straw / int_e251fae2 | comment |
But Not Too Black: Laila, the lead, was played by Kalki Koechlin, a very fair-skinned French-Indian actress (born in India to French parents). As a result, she stands out glaringly from the Indian actors who play her parents, friends and love interest who have far darker looks. | |
