In Malaika Arora spoke about the bias and the hardships she faced because of her ‘dark skin’.

Rising Above It All
But while Malaika Arora revealed that her ‘dark skin’ was biased, she also talked about her relationship status trolls that go around.
She told, “Personally, I care a damn. I really I mean if I have to say as crudely, I care a f**k. The only thing that comes to mind is that I just feel bad for people out there who talk or behave a certain way. I mean like you gotta be really messed up in your head or you gotta be really low self-esteem or its gotta be some sort of you know for you to actually sit and belittle somebody or degrade somebody or be nasty.”
Malaika Arora has been in the middle of much relationship controversy since long. She criticised the trolls and the people who make them.
“I mean you really gotta have a lot of issues with yourself to be doing just because you have a platform. And you’re faceless so you think its your birthright. I look at it that way. I feel really bad for them.”
