Bollywood and the symbolic annhiliation of... the Indian woman??

As an Indian woman, I was a little weirded out when I'd see white women being in the backdrops of Bollywood dances, thinking don't we have enough Indian female dancers to cast in movies? But recently, this trend has gone in a completely different direction. Now Indian film directors have cast white women in the romantic lead roles of Indian women. For English actress Amy Jackson who now stars in Supergirl, she was cast in Indian movies under the names of Shruti, Sara Rana, Nandini and more. For Greek-Swedish actress Elli Avram, she's been cast under the names of Kamayani, Deepika and Sona. These are all Indian female names being placed over white women's faces. American Lauren Gottlieb and English Scarlett Mellish Wilson have been featured in numerous dances in films as well. So why are directors casting white women when white people are not a majority of the Indian population? Bollywood has consistently profited off of the male gaze and the dance numbers are very much for women to serve the pleasure of male audiences who keep paying for it. And one thing these women all have in common is their dark hair, extremely light skin but tan enough to look exotic, and their light blue eyes or brown eyes to enhance that exotic look. Colorism has long affected Indian society who will shell out money for light skinned Indians on TV and movies and whitening creams. Unfortunately the only person lighter than an Indian woman is a white woman and Indian men are lured by stereotypes of foreign women being more "sexually liberated". One Bollywood director even said white women have better figures. However, the usage of white women who pass as light skinned Indian women symbolically annihilates Indian women who are not only qualified to dance and act in these roles but know the culture and languages of the country. Indian women, especially darker skinned Indian women, become the punching bag of Indian society's internalized racism and misogyny.
