My biggest challenge is that I’m of mixed-race - Actress Juliet Ibrahim

When asked about her biggest challenge,Juliet Ibrahim told Punch...

Sometimes, it is related with my colour.  The fact that I am of a mixed race makes people think that I receive preferential treatment. That is a huge misconception.  There are times my colour is a disadvantage and I cannot get certain roles.

They would rather give the role to a dark-skinned actor especially if both parents are dark in the movie. Sometimes, the fair-complexioned actors are cast in the roles of husband snatchers and other bad characters. People don’t know that we go through a lot.
 It has been very challenging to get a role that can elevate my talent.However, I am being told now that I am receiving more favours because of my fair complexion.   It seems people now have issues with coloured people
