**Revised Title:** "Deepika Padukone Fans Defend Her Against Skin Lightening Accusations: 'How Hateful is This?'" **Revised Article:** In a recent video, content creator Dhruv Rathee claimed that several Bollywood actresses, including Deepika Padukone, have undergone skin lightening treatments. Rathee, known for his critiques of Bollywood films, made the allegations in a video titled "The FAKE Beauty of Bollywood Celebrities," where he listed several actresses, saying they have become significantly fairer over time. According to Rathee, the actresses attribute their lighter complexion to reduced sun exposure. However, he claims that the reality is glutathione injections, a popular skin lightening method. Rathee also pointed out that some of these actresses endorse skin-whitening creams. Deepika's fans quickly came to her defense on Reddit, arguing that lighting and editing can greatly impact how fair an actress appears on screen. One fan noted that Deepika's skin tone has always been relatively fair, and that her appearance on screen is often enhanced by lighting and makeup. Another fan pointed out that skin tone can change significantly due to sun exposure and skin care. Some fans also defended Deepika's right to undergo any beauty treatments she desires, saying it's her personal choice and not anyone else's business. Others criticized Rathee for targeting Deepika, who has been a vocal supporter of several social causes. Rathee's previous video, in which he accused the film "Dhurandhar" of being propaganda-driven, also received backlash from the film's fans. The controversy surrounding Rathee's comments has sparked a debate on social media about beauty standards and personal choices. While Rathee's allegations have raised questions about the beauty standards in Bollywood, Deepika's fans are standing by her, saying that it's not anyone's place to comment on her personal choices.
