Why have people set certain standards for Indians to be considered beautiful?

[Babygirl_S]

I have noticed people call Kendall Jenner and similar white women pretty but Indian women have to have blue / green eyes 👀 The most popular Indian woman in the West is still Aishwarya even when we have Deepika, Bipasha, Rani, Disha Patani etc. Of course, Aishwarya looked good when she was young but it’s easier for a white person to be born with blue/green eyes. I guess half of white people have such eyes compared to 1 in 100 Indians. I have light hazel eyes and they are considered rare enough in my country.

Well I really don't know any of the names that you named and it really doesn't matter to me anyway it doesn't matter what nationality you are who you are where you come from beauty is beauty beauty is within the outsides just all an extra bonus..

So I don't know who you're talking to and who's judging who but as far as I'm concerned women are beautiful it doesn't matter who you are where you're from what color you are you're beautiful if you're kind and you have a good heart you're beautiful I've seen the most beautiful women in the world on the outside of their body but when they open their mouth they are so ugly and it doesn't matter where they come from they're ugly lol ugly as ugly and it comes only from the inside and what other people think and do who cares U. B U and you love you.. . Because you could a hundred men up and they would all have different taste

Obviously having an beautiful and rare blue/green eyes is not the only perimeter for beauty, things like face features and body shape are also important, I am pretty sure that most people simple don't care about indian women, Aishwarya eyes made her outstanding and that made her popular among non-indians, the other actresses you mentioned look fine but nothing special.

Great question. It's interesting (and somewhat frustrating) to see these beauty standards at play. Beauty standards vary a lot across cultures and are often influenced by Western ideals, which can be pretty limiting. I think Aishwarya's international fame might partly be due to timing and her striking features, including her eye color, which is rare among Indians. However, it's crucial to recognize that beauty doesn't come down to specific traits like eye color. Deepika, Bipasha, Rani, and Disha each bring something unique and stunning to the table. Celebrate your unique features—diversity is what truly makes beauty fascinating! What do you love most about yourself?

The world is taught to worship white skin and fair hair and features, especially if it is on women. And for the record Deepika has always been better looking to me than Aishwarya. Dark Indian women are very hot but are underappreciated by their own people and the rest of the world.

Humans have standards of beauty that are shaped by media and conventional values, as well as cultural, historical, and societal factors. The idealization of fair skin, particular body types, and facial features occurs in India as a result of colonialism, popular culture, and social conventions. But these expectations are changing as people value uniqueness and diversity more and more.

The problem here is society and everyone that chooses to let others tell them what to think. As a white male I see ugly everywhere but I also see beauty everywhere too. Beauty has no color or nationality. It just is…

As for blue eyes, my dog has blue eyes, my girlfriend doesn’t. I think that you will find if you ask people who think for themselves that there are a lot of beautiful Indian women out there.

[ProbablyClueless]

It seems like everybody has extremely specific beauty standards to live up to. The society we live in has a very particular idea about what is a good, marketable identity.

I have seen many beautiful Indian women who are beautiful on their own without being compared to any other race. I honestly have no set standards.

[LiamJHayden]

Some people are racist. Some people just have specific physical standards and do not care about race. Some of us just care what kind of person she is.

Colored eyes are not even important for beauty, nor are they common in the west (far from 50%). I don't know where you get that idea. Brown-eyed Indian women are extremely beautiful, especially when they aren't fat like most of them.

[DrPepper12]

So not true. Women from UP are hot with fairer skin and beautiful bodies. It's the darker women from the south that you don't find as easily in Bollywood.

We have to separate the gorgeous Indian women from the merely beautiful ones;)

[OtterMan68]

I don't. I find blue eyed blondes attractive, green eyed redheads, hazel eyed auburn hair women, brown hair brown eyed Indian women...

[Bklynbadboy12]

I never heard of that beautiful standard but your beautiful

[Babygirl_S]

Thank you ☺️ I have been bullied so much on this website so I started wondering.

[noohair]

Societal standards exist everywhere. That does not necessarily apply on a case by case basis.
