[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone actually think Rushali, the model Pradhyuman liked, is pretty? She’s fair and that’s a big deal for Indians but she has a hook nose and a manly face. I think she looks worse than Aparna, who’s not attractive.[/quote]

I thought she was very pretty in that unusual model looking way. Like Gisselle Bundchen. Not really pretty in a conventional way but takes amazing photos.

I also don’t think her nose is ugly. Small, Eurocentric style noses are not the only ones that are beautiful in India. Even Aishwarya Rai has a slight hook to her nose. Western beauty standards are not the only acceptable look.

+1. I think she’s gorgeous![/quote]

Yes and from one of my favorite poets

“ My issue with what they consider beautiful
 is their concept of beauty centers around excluding people.
I find hair beautiful, when a woman wears it like a garden on her skin 
that is the definition of beauty, 
big hooked noses pointing upward to the sky like they’re rising to the occasion 
skin the color of earth
my ancestors planted crops on
to feed a lineage of women
with thighs thick as tree trunks
eyes like almonds
deeply hooded with conviction
the rivers of Punjab
flow through my bloodstream
so don’t tell me my women 
aren’t as beautiful 
as the ones in your country. 
Our backs
Tell stories
No books
Have the spine to carry.”

-Rupi Kaur[/quote]
