The stand-up comedy bit "Dark Skin & Getting Married" by comedian Saikiran pokes fun at societal attitudes towards skin color, particularly in the context of marriage in India. In this routine, Saikiran humorously addresses the obsession with fair skin and the challenges faced by people with darker complexions when it comes to arranged marriages.
He talks about the pressures from family, relatives, and society that tend to equate fair skin with beauty and desirability, often referencing matrimonial ads that emphasize fairness as a key criterion for a good match. Through his witty observations and personal anecdotes, Saikiran highlights the absurdity of these biases and the superficial standards people are held to, all while keeping the audience laughing with his sharp delivery and relatable humor.
