Dusky lasses making a place among fair-skinned beauties

New Delhi: The small screen is full of ads of fairness creams but tall, dusky and gorgeous model Lisa Haydon says the Indian fashion industry is "open minded" about dusky beauties."Fashion is much more open



The modelling industry in the country indeed has been open to dusky skin. Names like Noyonika Chatterjee, Laxmi Rana, Carol Gracias, Bhawna Sharma, Sapna Sharma, Tinu Verghese are a case in point.

Bollywood too, over a period of time, has been accepting of beauties like Sushmita Sen, Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra, Nandita Das, Esha Gupta, Chitrangada Singh, Konkona Sen Sharma and Asin. Lisa was accepted too.

She made her acting debut with the 2010 film "Aisha" and was later seen in "Rascals". Currently, she hosts NDTV Good Times' "Kingfisher Supermodels", which is a hunt for a Kingfisher Calendar Girl.

The show will have its finale Saturday. Lisa believes such a platform does "a lot of favours for a model's career".
