Every time, a teenager is forced to prove to his friends that he is Indian. Everyone around Aviral Chauhan is misunderstood due to his white skin color.
Vitiligo is a rare skin condition. Melanin pigment disappears from some areas of the skin as a result of this disease. Teenagers learn about this feature at an early age after noticing a white spot near their eyes.
At 14, vitiligo was actively progressing and absorbing most of the skin. Aviral Chauhan completely changed and became a very different person from his relatives. In childhood photos, he sometimes cannot recognize himself. I developed vitiligo rapidly, and it all began with one white spot His classmates humiliated him at school and ridiculed him constantly.
I was asked a lot of questions by my parents. Everyone thought I was adopted at one point.” Aviral Chauhan now has to prove his cultural identity constantly. Many Internet users accuse him of appropriating foreign cultures. It infuriates me when people accuse me of appropriating foreign cultures. As a native Indian, I want everyone to know about my culture.
Aviral takes accusations and ridicule from the environment easier now than he did in school. It is for this reason that he is grateful to his family, which has always supported him. “My family never reproached me for my appearance. Throughout my life, I have felt like a normal person. They will always be in my debt for that.”
