Skin Deep
About This Book
Simran, a determined news reporter, enters a beauty pageant undercover to expose the seamy side of the beauty industry. She does not realise that she is a pawn in a much larger game. Three other young women share the story. Sania looks compliant, but she fights the patriarchal pressures of her family and community to pursue her dream of becoming a model. Sunidhi, the daughter of a media baron, starts with every advantage and wastes it through a sense of entitlement. Shikha comes from a modest background and uses her body as currency to move up. In a world that has turned femininity into a commodity and holds up only one body type as ideal, these four women see beauty in very different ways, and their lives become tightly entangled. A shocking incident then shatters their illusions and shows how the glamour business preys on the very young, with predators ready to devour whatever they can. Inspired by true incidents, Ajay Monga's Skin Deep exposes the ugly reality behind the polished surface of beauty and glamour.
