Actress Kangana Rananut said it was a “long battle” after Hindustan Unilever had announced that would drop the word ‘Fair’ in the brand name ‘Fair & Lovely’.

It’s public knowledge, that Kangana had turned down an offer in 2015 to promote the fairness cream. The actress went on record and said that she “did not understand the concept of fairness”.

As a celebrity, she did not want to set a wrong example in front of the younger generation. Reports suggested that the brand deal had offered Kangana two crores rupees for the project.

Taking to the microblogging website, Kangana said: “It has been a long and sometimes a very lonely battle but results only happen when whole nation participates in the movement.”

Over the last decade, Fair & Lovely’s advertising has evolved to communicate the message of women empowerment.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
