The “Master” actress used the term to mention the tanned make up she wore for the photo shoot. This look of the actress is being adored by enormous number of her followers that even producer Sashi kanth of “Y not studios” who is known for producing “Vikram Vedha”, “Irudhi Suttru” expressed his admiration in one of the posts.

However, the caption irked few who said that she looks pretty in those photos but it is not an excuse for her actions. The way Malavika either knowingly or unknowingly trying to convey that the skin tone of women who belong to tribal community are darker, irked the users of twitter. One of her ardent fan said that she lost respect from him and another one went on to take an extreme step of unfollowing her for the caption.

Could someone kindly explain to me what does "tribal skin" means, and why is Malavika Mohanan unabashedly using the term for a photoshoot that is seemingly self-promotion?

Privilege is embedded deep inside us, the “tribals” are not even integrated well enough for us to know some of these people personally. Shame on her

It is notable that Malavika came up with a disagreement with the concept of an illustration during late April. The actress, in her first tweet, directly said that the design is “So sexist”. She asked why the only female in the house is doing domestic work while everyone else seems to be chilling/working.

Later she deleted the tweet and posted another one saying “The task of a woman even in a hypothetical “movie house” is to cook ? When will gender roles die ? Sigh”.
