Bride's Colourful Dress Must Bring Out Her Skin Tone | Say Yes To The Dress: India

This consultant guy is so sweet! Im glad he’s there to stand behind and support the bride. Im glad the family came around too after she stuck up for herself!

I’m so glad she’s stuck with her instincts. That third dress literally washed her out. You couldn’t really see her in that red dress all you saw was the dress and not her. That pink dress looked amazing on her and really brought out her undertones, she shined very brightly in it.

6:20 What Divyak said was so true about mama's boys. When she wore the pink, it just brought out the joy in her. She had a big smile on her face.

It’s heartbreaking that people still have such views on skin tone, she is absolutely gorgeous. I am also glad she stuck to what She Loves, it is unique and beautiful and she looked stunning in it.

Honestly, I don’t know why she is worried about her skin tone because it’s wonderfully beautiful and every single color looks perfect on her!!! So glad she decided by herself the dress she liked!

You can tell that she feels absolutely beautiful in that Pink.

She really did brighten up in the pink! It's not about light skin or dark. Its just the right color for your tone. My face looks slightly chartreuse in fuchsia like that, but a dark red makes me look healthy. For her, the fuchsia brought out her natural glow. Gorgeous

I love how the stylist is determined about understanding the bride’s feelings. He’s the best.

The third dress completely washed her out. The pink one literally made her GLOW. I'm so glad she chose that one and that the husband was supportive of her decision.

It's not about her skin tone but the undertone. She's cool toned and so pink looks way better than warm red on her. ❤️

I hate the fiancé for saying that the colour should be little dark because his mom prefers it. It was heartbreaking to hear specially after looking at how happy the bride was... 🥺 PS : 1) the review of her family members was mostly about colour shade and skintone. Its weird for me to see the bride listening to such comments coming straight from the people who should be encouraging and welcoming to her decisions. 2) at last only the bride was happy and the family just accepted her decision i guess support and enthus was lacking a lot.

She would look amazing in any colour , makes me sad she feels insecure in some colours because of insensitive comments from family or friends.She is stunningly beautiful and her choice was perfect because it was HER choice .

So glad the show shined a light on what brown-skinned Indian women have to endure. It’s rooted in classism, colonialism, & racism. The more it’s called out, the less prevalent it will be. Beauty comes in every shade! Ekta is beautiful already and that fuchsia dress enhanced it👏🏾

I'm so sorry that people said terrible things to Ekta about her skin tone. She's BEAUTIFUL! She could wear a potato sack and still be gorgeous.

I'm really impressed with how the consultant keeps the bride's preferences and feelings topmost in his mind. He gave her the encouragement to make the choice that was best for her, regardless of what her fiance's opinion was. I am really glad that he supported her choice. I also agree with the consultant, that a man should put his wife's preferences/opinions/feelings above anyone else's, and refrain from referring to his mother's preferences.

this consultant guy is just the DREAM he’s absolutely killing it for his bride keeping her happy and supporting her

I'm in Indian-ethnicity woman born and raised in America, and I can tell you, I always valued having darker skin; my friends were always jealous of my "natural tan" and living in Arizona, I never shied away from the sun and embraced the seasonal changes where my skin would get much darker in the summer and lighter in the winter. I never got hateful comments from other Americans (or Mexicans, or Jamaicans, or any other ethnicity I grew up with in the States) until I went to India and would hear all of these open comments from middle aged to older women about how it was a "shame" I wasn't as light skinned as my mom. The origin for lighter skin being desirable is because back in the day, those who were worked in fields as laborers were darker skinned due to hours spent in the sun, whilst the upper class worked "higher" jobs in offices out of sunlight. Therefore, if you're darker skinned the impression is that you're lower class, which is obviously bullshit. My cousin was extremely fair skinned, and I remember everyone talking about her since she was 8 years old like she was a prized pig being raised for slaughter - "she's so fair, she will get a good husband and dowry". What a disgusting thing to say about anyone, let alone a child. She was so controlled by her aunt who was determined to basically auction her off to the highest bidder, that she eventually ran away and eloped with the love of her life, a simple but honest working man who loves her and has much darker skin. For years, she only talked to me and my dad, the two who supported her. I always will be proud of her for choosing her own destiny and heart, and breaking free of her controlled life. Unfortunately, this racism still is prevalent today in India and I am so grateful I grew up in America. We have our problems obviously, but India doesn't get called out on this overt racism as much as it should because people are afraid of criticizing "culture". I suppose it's human nature to always think "the grass is greener on the other side" with Western cultures wanting to be tan and Eastern cultures wanting to be fairer. However, racism under the guise of "culture" is still racism, and needs to be called out by fellow Indians and non-Indians alike.

Look at her face when she was in the second choice…..she simply glowed! She was stunning in all of them but the fuchsia was the best for her.

She looked amazing in all, I liked the first one more, glad she didn't go for red. She said she didn't want red. Her fiance must have known that, his mum is irrelevant here 🙄

She honestly did look better and happier in the fuchsia. She was glowing and it made her cheeks rosy. Glad she choose the one she really loved, true happiness!
