A woman named Pratiksha Jichkar claimed on LinkedIn that she was rejected from a company due to her fair complexion.
The rejection email screenshot shared by Pratiksha stated that while her skills and qualifications were relevant, her fair skin tone was the reason for the rejection, as the company wanted an inclusive team.
The authenticity of the claim is questioned by some, with speculation that it might be a publicity stunt.
The post gained significant attention on social media, with users expressing shock and disbelief, while others believed it to be untrue, citing that no company would mention such a reason in a rejection email.
