  • Racist much India? 

  • Ja sou branco nao preciso disso..VIVA AO BRASIL....

  • I bought this crap by mistake when I was looking for a facial cleanser in China (I'm white and it made me freakishly pale!!!), nasty stuff.

  • now that's just messed up

  • what the hell, at first i thought this commercial was about jewelry, turns out it was about some stupid friggin fairness crap again!!

  • Ridiculous concept. Trying to make Priyanka more beautiful. Not possible.

  • How embarrassing

  • hate priyanka chopra .grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • this stuff can be changed.It's simple.Indian guys should just stop chasing european girls so that indian girls wouldn't have to "whiten" themselves to get their indian guys.It looks to me like the problem is in indian men,not the add. Well, at least here in the U.S.

  • I am Indian and I must say it is the Indians who need to get rid of this 'lighter is better' perception. The more we stand our ground and say brown is brown, whether light or dark we are freaking brown. learn to love it, live it and embrace it!

  • All of the problems that caused their original breakup were suddenly erased by the fact that she has lighter skin. *rolls eyes* What a fucken racist piece of shit ad!

  • LOL i laughed so hard at this commercial, oh man do i feel bad for girls in india. so they tell you that you have to be light skinned in order to get guys to like you...HAHAHA why?? you girls are so beautiful, white people will die for your natural skin tone, don't marry indian guys!!

  • @BurnKilluminati im serious....this is true though....a guy who was asking me about a girl who was "petitie" cuz that was his kind and he said "is she light skinned?" horrible...

  • "Pinkish White" ha ha ha , my body is pale with yellow undertone. so no one marry me :)))))))))

  • @Seaflowerr most white guys love a girl who can tan and with your yellow undertone you shoud be ok

  • Ah Ah ... this is the stereothype in country where there are brown ... i'm half swiss and pakistani but i have white skin and light green eyes but i don't escape to my origines .

    I think the real beauty is the natural beauty and even a cream can't do it like lightin' the skin and other shit ...

    in india , pak , bangladesh and srk the whitening cream is the bread of the day ...

    so .. we like brown skin .. XD and our skin

  • That guy that came in when she was working in the flower shop was waaay hotter.

  • How it should have gone down:

    Man: "I'm sorry, but you're too damn brown, so I left you for a whiter woman."

    Priyanka Chopra: "What?! How could you do such a thing.....to HER! I don't need to be white to be beautiful! I used to be Miss WORLD, bitch! I'm happy to be rid of you!" *walks away*

    Man: "Damn...I'm SO shallow!" D:

    END

  • wtf you cant change your skin colour for God sake!!! DUMB BASTARD MEN! AND SOCIETY!!!

  • THe stupidity and superficiality of this ad makes me laff :)

  • OMG! They have this same commercial in Thailand w/ different actors. Whoever thought of this commercial is STUPID!!! They should've come up w/ a different idea to advertise this product instead of making girls w/ darker skin feels like they can't get a guy unless they're white.

  • @xarofHearts DUDE they are simply following the culture of India. Don't worry about who came up with the product idea.  High Caste Indians are lighter in complexion. This is standard shit. I just read an article whereby a man in India hated his wife because she was too dark, she got pregnant and he left her, because he didn't want a "dark" baby and then married some other chick, while still married. People in India are different. They want the differences between High & Low caste visible

  • @ThePaleBunnyPreserve Does that make it any better? The caste system isn't a good thing, you know. In fact, India's been trying to get rid of it for years. Why reinforce a destructive and discriminatory, unjust system?

  • @ThePaleBunnyPreserve DUDE...I think u need to read my comment again. I never said I'm worrying about who came up w/ this product idea. I SAID whoever thought of this commercial is stupid. And I'm well aware of this stupid high caste system that's going on all over the world, not just in India. Just becuz it's happening does not make it right. Ppl of color are not low class and if you're supporting this idea, you're stupid yourself. Ppl need to just stop discriminating against other ppl.

  • lol who cares about the pond. but saif and priyanka make a very cute couple!!!!

  • This is weird,if you are black person you are unhappy?

  • @MiHrOcKs This commercial isn't for black people. It's for darker skinned Caucasians.

  • @ThePaleBunnyPreserve I can't see any difference about it.

  • Comment removed

  • I would have kicked him in where the sun don't shine and slapped his face if he even thought of coming back to me just because my skin was whiter.

  • real love isn't about skin colour

  • apartmentzero, they do, they do! It comes in a plaster form and is called...."Rhionoplasty" ........hahahahahahaha!

    

  • Heres something that will work, go to your bathroom and under the sink get the thing called 'BLEACH' out and pour it all over your face, after a month or so the burning should stop but you'll be white as a ghost.

    warning may have side effects including burning, sight loss and the risk of being called a stupid dumb ass by those you tell.

  • Ah, Priyanka is such a gorgeous gal. Love her! :) and none of these stupid fairness creams work, they use originally fair people in the add for a reason you know. And its annoying having to see so many of these adds over and over again every break, dark skin is pretty too.

  • Ponds and fair and lovely don't work, try meladerm cream or something.

  • those are some cool necklaces.

  • ON AND ON YOU SEEM TO GO, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT TILL ITS GONE!

  • WHEREEEE CAN I GET THAT NECKLACE SET?!?!?!!!!!!!???

    PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME PLEASE!!!!!

  • WTF?

  • What did I just watch?

  • Priyanka and Saif should be ashamed of themselves. They're such big actors and they're doing this type of advertising. ANd the acting is to over the top. SUrprise surprise, it's india.

  • I hate Shitty advert like that

  • I love how they are racists in levels, because no one in this video is Arian, just a dark skin girl and another with a darker skin. Srly India, stop being racist.

  • @egidiussx Indians r racist amongst themselves......i dont see a world having problem wid dat..............

  • @egidiussx Indians r racist amongst themselves......i dont see the world having problem wid dat..............

    

  • Lol, India is racist as shit.

  • Lol, India is racist as shit, well the world is racist and everyone know.

  • I'm really surprised Part 6 isn't on YouTube. You know, the one where they find out that Pond's contains toxins and her entire face falls off. Judging by how easily the guy is willing to leave her if her skin is too tan, I'm sure he would have to resort to killing her if she grew up faceless. In fact, I think that was Part 7.

  • wow. PArt 6 sucks... its all good till she goes home and takes a shower, then he dumps her again.

  • Wow, yet another spectacle of how racist our Asian society. What's scary is that you see these creams in the Asian shops here too. Fuck.....

  • You are an idiot. Just like any coloured race out there, you are more racist than this ad! White doesn't mean they want to be like white people. Its just colour, not a culture. When we tan our skin and use paints, bronzers, etc everday of our lives...you people don't scream racism. No you like that! Its soo cool that we don't like our skin and want to be like your skin tone...but heaven FORBID anyone should turn it around and admit to wanting a lighter skin tone. Grow up!! Get over yourselves

  • @LoveMokes No offense but the reality is blond hair, blue eyes, and darker skin is more attractive than looking like a ghostAll the races are obsessed with a certain things. For instance, Black people are obsessed with hair, whites are obsessed with tanning and indians are obsessed with skin color I don't understand why people just can't be happy with what God gave them.

  • i love pryanka

  • So if he loved her, why did he dump her in the first place?

    And if it's because of her darker skin, I'm going to scream...

  • @sydtheninja

    lol. it was cuz of her skin tone. didnt you see him leave her for a whiter girl? i know that was soo retarded but you gotta admit it was funny too. not the racism but the whole skit in general.

  • Is this a Movie???

    If it is, coud someone tell me the name of iiit pllss.

  • @Sothisismylife No, it's a commercial split into 5 parts.

  • It's Unilever. What do you expect from that asshole of a company?

  • In fact, the girl was very prettier before. She looks very strange white. And this commercial is really pathetic.

  • @gcavaresi: The girl did not look prettier before. They artificially darkened her with digital effects just like they did lightened her digitally at the end. Or are you saying digitally darkening yourself is OK lol? Anyway in real life, Priyanka is dark.

  • Pinkish white glow ( er.... shudder ) !!!

  • nah idon't think u guys should judge

    maybe people in indian just likes a fairer complexion

    i'm from china and i always remember my mom and aunts using whitening products

    its not racist or anything..its not like they wanna look white

    you can't call every "tanning" product in america racist again white people..its because they like that sun tanned glow and that complexion its not fair to judge

  • shes still ugly and dark

  • If I were an Indian, I would be ashamed...

  • Just wow.

  • she should have ditched the cream and saif!

  • Is this ok in India?? I mean dont they see what wrong with this??

  • @slimm1121

    Skin whitening creams are around in asian countries, too. It's not as racist as it looks at first glance because it's not to look caucasian but like a rich woman who never has to work out in the sun. Until 150 years ago it was the same in European countries: peasants are tanned, genteel women are pale.

    Yes, superficial. Just ike US and European women being brain-washed into spending billions on coloring their hair, lips, finger-nails, skin, being super-slim and ageless.

  • @slimm1121: Yes, there are people who think it's wrong, but it's a free country. I don't see anybody protesting against orange spray paint use in America.

  • @VeronikaZee When have you ever seen a commercial in America that says he won't love you if you don't look like a cheese doodle?

  • well i never really saw the as lyk that. i always imagined that he left her becuz of some problems but years later he realizes that she is the perfect one (thanks to his current girlfriend)

    trust me i hate fairness ads and my skin is also medium brown (its right in the middle for indian people). its funny that i was told i was really dark by some people who were even darker than me.

    unfortunately, these days there have been too many ads on t.v. which makes the discrimination even worse.

  • "later after they got back together her skin became dark from the sun and he left her for another light skin women."

    THE END

  • @hellokitty7654321 lmao this is the dumbest thing i've ever seen

  • @hellokitty7654321 lol....very true.Idon't understandwhatthe "white beauty" has anything to do with the,the whole story was about how rude the so-called white beauty saif wa swith and how sweetly tender-loving priyanka was in the ad...so in the end beauty has nothing todo with skin colour!

  • @hellokitty7654321 haha lol

  • i totally against the racism that these stupid fairness ads send..but i love the story!! its annoying wheneva they say "pond's white beauty", but watch it for priya and saif!

  • Hey, if you watch it 5 times in a row, you do actually want to buy it

  • Enyong Chalaly wong moga pemalang, jare enyong, kekuatan cinta bisa dirajut maning karo kulit sing putih, kaya kue

    iya ora, I like its

  • iki wong jowo toh? :D

  • this add is so horrible...

  • Why would she fall in love with that weirdo who seemed to think her skin color was the only thing that made her ugly to him? Now that she's whiter he loves her? How shallow!

  • @Ceridwyth It does seem rather shallow, doesn't it? I found her just as pretty "brownish" than white...to me, he just comes off as an ass.

  • Despicable.

  • I'm fair-skinned and people are always telling me that I'm pale and need to get a tan. lol

  • Look at my complexion, it is not a disease, it is not the reflection of my soul, it is the colour of my skin.

    I respect my colour.

  • ahahaha! lame! see priyanka became miss world.....with dark skin she really didn't need to do this ad. it's for money. i think most people realize when they are being feed baloney by the media. so....stay smart!

  • This is so sad. But to be realistic, aside from the message about self loathing and female repression and all, I think the guy found the ex more appealing in contrast with the new chick who was just a psycho bitch coat rack - this dynamic is pretty common for guys (which serves them right for being shallow and one dimensional).

    And we all know that in 2 months, India chick will get tired of him snoring, farting, socks on the floor acting like he's 13, and she'll boot his silly ass.

  • This really isn't any different than self tanner.

  • Yes, it is. These aren't just a dye you can rub into your skin, they're chemicals which actually prevent your cells from producing melanin. Some of those chemicals actually cause cancer and many whitening creams have been banned in Europe because of that.

  • Well, there are some chemicals in Self Tanners that do the same thing. I mean, sure, it's very odd and stupid that people would want to do this and that to themselves, but hey...

    at least it's got lycopene. -dramatic piano music-

  • "Ponds: Erase your race"

  • Why doesn't Pond's make a cream to shrink that guy's nose?

  • @apartmentzero love ur comment..:D

  • @apartmentzero: LOL... the people under this video are complaining about "racism," but then it's OK to attack his nose shape? lol

  • @apartmentzero

    LOL !!

  • @apartmentzero lmaoooooo

  • - oh, hey, your skin is lighter now. I'm totally dumping that bitch. She's way too brown.

    So racist it's unbelievable.

  • it is not even slightly racist. Skin tone is controlled for beauty across all cultures. In some places people tan themselves to make themselves more attractive. In other cultures such as indian or asian countries they make themselves paler.

    as said above skin color ≠ race

  • it may not be racist but its still stupid.

    you have to be white to be beautiful? BULLSHIT.

  • @HcOtaku1337 how comsmetc companies going to sell their products to stupid women..if they wont brain wash the white skinned to become tan and the tan color to become white.....poor women can do anything to look beautiful

  • it seems more self loathing, and body dysmorphic than racist.

  • but that self loathing and body dysmorphia are born out of institutionalized racism. It's naive to think the two are unconnected.

  • don't get me wrong, i know full well it is, and they are. I just meant technically, that's what you'd call it.

  • what is lycopene anyways?

  • Something made from wolf phallus I would presume.

  • lol

  • Ok, sorry about the snarky comment.  It's actually a red pigment that is supposed to suppress cancer. Ironically, by using it to lower melanin levels, it is actually increasing the chances of skin cancer.

  • @tiga2001 its tomato pigment

  • The story itself is sweet, if it weren't for the whole 'skin lightener' thing. That killed it.

  • extremely racist and he's horrible....

  • @kaprolski WHY IS THIS COMMERCIAL RACIST .... BECAUSE SOMEONE WANTS A LIGHTER SKIN .... ITS OKAY TO GET A TAN BUT IS NOT OKAY TO GET LIGHTER .

  • it's racist because it suggest that dark skin is unattractive. The guy left her because she was dark and then returned to her when she got lighter--> His love for her is contingent on her skin color. It's pretty wtf? for me

  • agreed it IS wtf, but I think the pt ppl are making is that skin color ≠ race. in the same way that tan ads in the west aren't racist, neither is this. saying fair skin = beauty IS a horrible stereotype, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying it's not a racial stereotype. If anything, he does leave her for another indian girl.

  • I always thought the whole tanning salon, sitting purposely in the sun, getting orange skin, and melanoma was stupid. This is not any different!

  • and tanning is about getting a summer glow.. because apparently it mimics biological health, just like blush mimics attraction through through a flush.. it has nothing to do with dark or light skin being unattractive - like this does. I can't believe this ad was even made.

  • All that spray-tanning mimics is orange-brown paint. It fails to make someone more beautiful than their natural skin color exactly as this whitening stuff does. Tanning booths have been proven to be a lot worse than natural light, too; you're safer using the sun than a booth.

    People should just be themselves and learn to love being in their on body. Pale or dark, no exceptions just because you're getting a different kind of fake color. Love yourself for your own unique beauty.

  • that's the same argument they've had for any makeup, for years :)

  • @latinspice1984 no its racist cos he only wants her when her skin is lighter

  • The guy seems like a douche. But I guess if you're some heart-broken chick working in a flower shop while your ex is on the cover of a magazine then you'll take him back.

  • she was prettier when she was brown

  • That's terribly racist.

  • Aww... if you looks past the ridiculousness and racsist(ness?) of these ads, the're actually kinda cute.

  • You're right, but If you look past their cuteness, you'll see that they're actually quite horrendous, reminding us of the worst in people.

  • That was a bit scary.. I mean he left her because of her skin? And then came back because the skin is now lighter? Is this the meaning?? Would had been a nice ad for jewellery..

  • The commercial symbolizes why marriages seldom work. Men only look at women as objects of beauty and women allow it...........

  • Thanks for speaking for all men, including myself. Gosh, none of us men folk are apparently capable of seeing the inner beauty of a women I guess.

    You're as guilty of painting with the same wide brush as this ad.

  • @LincolnFStern so you're a saying, sure she is dark, but I can appreciate her inner beauty. Perpetuating the idea that dark women are unattractive physically? :-)

  • Ummm. No. Maybe you should learn2comprehend. It's not hard. You just have to stop and think. Oh wait...

  • This is why this commercial is ridiculous. IT IMPLIES THAT "WHITER" SKIN IS MORE BEAUTIFUL TO INDIANS. It's just very strange that ponds put out their product in such a manner. If the stupid commercial didn't have the woman crying over her ex and then applying this shit to her face because she thinks that is why he left her. SHES DUMB! THE COMMERICAL IS DUMB! AND PONDS IS IGNORANT

  • Believe it or not thats actually very true, it's extremely ridiculous. They are obsessed with light skin, b/c the majority there has dark skin. This isnt the only skin bleacher in the market they have various more including 'fair and lovely' and several other whitening products. Obsession with lighter skin isnt just contained within their own culture, they;re also OBSESSED with white ppl, and try incorporate them into every movie and commercial. It's simply ridiculous

  • I'm kinda astonished that ponds is actually promoting this product #1 as a cure all for self-hatred #2 as "india's" vision of beauty

  • I love the male actor!!! LOVELY!!!

  • ahahahhaha....everyone's comment made me crack upp...esp the pork one

  • white beauty my ass...

    true beauty, and true love, knows no boundaries, including colour of skin...

    really unbelievable that these bollywood actors endorse this crap..

    why dont ponds endorse products with brown or black beauty as a tagline for their product? brown or black's not beautiful?

  • My goodness you are so damned correct on this one. I totally agree.

  • Well said :)

  • This Ponds gunk is not even the least bit as sexy as a bikini tan line.

  • pinkish white glow? reminds me of Pork, I don't like the other white meat.

  • lol

  • so he didn't want you when you were brown, but now that you're a few shades lighter, it's true love?

    fuck this shit. it's so sad that people fall for this.

  • Yeah.... totally agree with you...

  • these fucking actors do not have a spine or a brain.

  • They should end up with very dark babies. I would like to see that commercial.

    Absolutely, the most ludicrous, prejudiced crap I have ever seen.

  • @peziak They just bathe the kids in Ponds several times daily.

  • lol

  • Comment removed

  • What a sweet guy!

  • Talking about me !

  • Sweet guy? The entire premise of this ad is that originally she wasn't 'white enough' for him. How's that sweet that he loves her now she's whiter?

  • It was sarcasm.

  • so india girls wanna be white... and american girls wanna be tan... makes total sense...

  • pinkish white glow?? Lol. That looks freaky, not radiant.

  • she's so gorgeous she doesnt need that racist shit

  • who does? apparently it sells though.

  • this is pathetic... i can't believe Priyanka Chopra is a part of such this crap & on top of that She was Miss World... What a message she is giving..... this ad is Crap.....

  • Bleach your skin and your shallow boyfriend will dump his white ex for you since your brown skin is gone.

    What a message!

  • What an offensive ad. And I am Indian.

  • Seriously, who doesn't look better with a pinkish white glow, am I right? Might get some of that for myself.

  • lol @ robbyalp.. ditto

  • wtf, saif, it's priyanka here. how do you leave THAT?!

  • Wow, if I saw this last installment without seeing the first vid I would totally not get how this ad promotes Pond's.

  • Sooo...he dumped her because she was brown and she wants him back? He likes her now for her "pinkish white glow?". And people are okay with this?

  • I liked the series. Is there an abridged or a movie coming out?

  • this was basically...the worlds shortest Bollywood movie, and thats saying something

  • Incorrect. Where's the song and dance??
