Twitter wasn’t pleased with this news as the company has entirely missed the point. Here is how people reacted.

So Fair and Lovely will now be called Glow and Lovely? C’mon Hindustan Lever. For years you’ve been profiting by destroying our nation’s young girl’s self worth by making rude comments about dark skin.
Now prove your ‘intentions’ by having a dark skinned girl on your packaging. pic.twitter.com/nwcvlJpJnx

Fair & Lovely is now Glow & Lovely. There will now be a Massive Campaign to tell people that Fair & Lovely is now Glow & Lovely. And those who miss the campaign, they will go to Shop and ask for Fair & Lovely and Shopkeeper will tell them Fair & Lovely is now Glow & Lovely
