Sumbul Touqeer made headlines earlier with her participation in the show Bigg Boss. The actress before that, earned as household fame with her work in Imlie. However, while she is now one of the most celebrated stars in the country. The actress repeatedly faced discrimination for being dark skinned. Addressing the same, the actress said, “When I bagged Imlie also things didn’t change instantly. People would call up and say ‘Arre kaisi ladki ko cast kar liya, kaali hai (what kind of a girl did you cast, she is black)’. I had felt very bad that day and I cried a lot but after the telecast, things started to change. Our opening TRP numbers were 2.2 and the number just went up from there. It never came down till the time I was a part of it. People forgot how I looked, they just noticed my work. The people, who disliked me also started praising me. I feel this is all based on convenience.”
She added, “I started as a child actor and whenever I went for auditions they only wanted fair-skinned actors. The requirement was always for fair child actors. It was very demeaning and insulting. It was something that I never appreciated and did not like. I had started to believe that if you are dark-skinned you can’t be a lead heroine. All the heroines, if you see them all, were mostly fair. I don’t have anything against anyone but this is what I started to believe. But this stereotype broke when I bagged Imlie.” As quoted by ABP Live.
