Media is going show what sells and what is in demand.
I am not so sure. It is more of a self-fulfilling prophecy more than anything else. They could easily display a wider range of tones and types, they just choose not to.
I get comments from people all the time "your skin is so amazing!" (gasp, white people) But you never see that comment in a magazine, that's for sure.

I have very light South Indian girls also and then I have seen dark skin Punjabi's. India has it all.
Yes, there are loads of skin tones in India, but the popular Bollywood people are light too!

Sure they could show them? But why would they if it does not sell?

Bollywood has ALWAYS showed light skin girls and guys. They are obsessed with it. They think that being light skin means pretty but that is changing now. Look at Bipasha Basu and Kajol. They are dark but still they aren't that dark though. Camera and makeup can easily make them look light.
