Can a person be judged just by his or her complexion? In a country based on socialist and democratic ideals, a new version of segregation raises its ugly head in the form of colour bias. Practiced with zealot fervour, it is a pejorative, finding a breeding ground amongst the so-called more ‘educated and elite’.

One of Zee TV’s most popular shows, ‘Saat Phere - Saloni Ka Safar’ explores this unreasonable preoccupation with the transparency of the skin over that of the mind and character of a person, through the eyes of Saloni. The protagonist Saloni (Rajashree Thakur), a dark-complexioned twenty-four year old girl, is faced with stigma forced upon her by society. She also finds that her talents are overshadowed by her complexion. Being a resolute young woman, Saloni decides not to get bogged down by the age-old myths and gathers the courage to search for her own identity. ‘Saat Phere - Saloni Ka Safar’ is a heartwarming tale which is still popular for rendering intense emotions through its story and characters.
