Brown women have spent decades trying to rub whiteness into our skin, whether it was the ubtan and haldi mix made in our kitchens or toxic bleach creams from the corner store like Fair & Lovely and Stilman’s. Now, the multibillion-dollar skin bleaching industry has found a new way to sell whiteness, this time injected directly into our veins.
According to practitioners who administer these so-called ‘skin whitening injections’, skin colour can lighten as a result of an antioxidant called glutathione, which is believed to suppress melanin production when administered in high doses.
Glutathione as a compound is neither new nor exotic. Your body makes it daily, for free, as part of its routine defence against cellular damage, and while a healthy body can replenish glutathione on its own, it’s also found in foods such as asparagus, avocado, spinach and cucumbers. Today, injectable glutathione is a big business globally.
Houston-based pharmacist Anum Shaikh, who has dispensed glutathione injections for patients needing to boost immunity and overall health, says that in the United States glutathione injections are used primarily for overall wellbeing rather than skin whitening. But in South Asia, Southeast Asia and most African countries, what began as supportive therapy in cancer and liver medicine has become one of the most popular ways to become a few shades paler.
In fact, while reporting this piece, Instagram showed me no less than 30 Pakistani clinics selling “gluta drips” with captions promising more energy, stronger immunity, and a detoxed liver. Strip away the vocabulary of self-care and what we are really being sold is the oldest offer in the Asian beauty economy: lighter skin.

When Omair Alavi met Haris Waheed at a coffee shop, the actor was incapacitated by a leg injury, but he still arrived on schedule. No crowd gathered around him, and there was no fuss over the character who had television audiences talking about him — disliking him, laughing at him, and yet waiting to see what he would do next.
Haris seemed oblivious that this too was a possibility in a public spot. He recently played Shayan in ARY Digital’s Bas Tera Saath Ho (BTSH), a privileged, morally compromised young man who could manipulate people, take extreme measures to avenge an insult, make questionable decisions, and then deflect criticism with a joke or a cheeky remark.
With the drama now concluded, Shayan’s journey offers a chance to reflect on what made him so watchable.
Haris settled into his chair and adjusted himself comfortably before beginning their discussion on the craft behind a role that was never meant to be straightforward.
“I didn’t want to glamorise him [Shayan],” he says, making his position clear from the outset. “I don’t want to label people as negative and then keep my distance. Whether someone is an antagonist or morally compromised, I like discussing them and understanding their psychology.”

It seems there’s something new to talk about every week after popular drama Dar-e-Nijaat drops a new episode, and this weekend was no different.
A scene where the female lead Zaryab Habib (Durefishan Saleem) refuses to wear a sleeveless dress, saying she’s no longer comfortable wearing such clothes, has sparked a fair amount of discourse on social media and even Saleem has jumped in.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, the actor explained that the point of the scene was to show Zaryab’s own relationship with faith changing, and she should have the freedom to go through that change.
Saleem said she considered faith to be an internal transformation which manifests in external actions — including how someone chooses to dress themselves.
A woman’s right to choose how she dresses must be extended to all women in various clothing styles, the actor pointed out.
The real issue, Saleem said, is not what Zaryab chooses to wear; it was how people “begin questioning, scrutinising or judging her choices instead of simply respecting them”.

Some of the most-followed names on Pakistani social media feeds gathered at Karachi’s Expo Centre on Saturday evening for the inaugural edition of the Pakistan Influencer Awards.
Fashion designer Hassan Sheheryar Yasin, actor Rabab Hashim, Dino Ali and comedian Faiza Saleem hosted the star-studded evening, which was the culmination of months of performance data analysis, expert jury evaluation and public voting for creators across more than 30 categories.
Speaking at the event, chief curator Talha Aslam outlined a vision to build an annual platform that “sets meaningful standards for recognition within Pakistan’s creator economy.”
Salman Iqbal, the head of the ARY group, said, “Creators and mainstream media now share the same audiences, and the best of them deserve recognition that meets global standards of credibility.” He called the awards a “meaningful step towards giving Pakistan’s creators the stature they have earned”.
Of course, the real stars of the evening were the newly crowned champions from the extensive list of awards up for grabs.

Guatemala’s opera singer Maria Jose gave some useful tips to students of music in particular and art lovers in general at a workshop titled ‘Building Cultural Ecosystems’ at the World Culture Festival on Sunday evening.
She began with her country first. She said, “Geographically, when you see the map, there’s the US, Mexico and then Guatemala. In Central America, there’s no tradition of opera. There’s a symphonic orchestra, but no opera company.”
Ms Jose, after discussing the different art institutions in her country, said, “In Guatemala, opera started in 1998. We are very, very young. Mexico is advanced in opera… I started out as a pop singer. I like theatre, I like to dance, etc. I had a teacher who introduced me to Italian opera and urged that I should try to sing that kind of music. I did that, and I fell in love with opera.”
She said that, in the meantime, she met a man whom she later married. He was also into that kind of music. But there was no infrastructure in her country. After a few steps taken in life, her husband, a tenor, entered a competition which he won. That got things going for them, and they were able to build opera institutions in their country.
Ms Jose advised aspiring musicians that they should remain prepared for opportunities in life. She added, apart from honing their skills and polishing their talent, they must keep the business side of things in mind as well, because when they go to a sponsor, the sponsor will demand what he’s getting back for his effort.

The first edition of the VXR Festival, Pakistan’s virtual and extended reality festival, opened to a full house at Alliance Française de Lahore on Sunday, bringing together artists, creative practitioners and audiences to explore the evolving intersections of art, technology and immersive experiences.
Titled Between the Prompts // V.1, the festival is presented with the support of the Embassy of France in Pakistan, Alliance Française de Lahore, the Institut français, the Embassy of Spain in Pakistan and AECID, in collaboration with UNESCO.
Curated by Dr Najamul Assar and Sarah Rajper, with Zainab Aamir as the assistant curator, the festival brought together the work of 70 artists from Pakistan, Spain, France, Canada, the United States and other countries, with exhibitions and activities taking place across Lahore and Islamabad. Sixteen artists were featured at the opening.
Between the Prompts explored the space between instruction and image, examining how artists engage with, reinterpret and challenge the technologies and algorithms increasingly shaping the creation of visual content. Throughout the afternoon, visitors experienced a range of immersive artworks through headsets and screens, followed by a meet the artists session.
Co-curator Sarah Rajper said, “For most people who walked in today, this was the first time they had put on a headset to experience art, not a game or a demo. Watching that moment happen again and again, people going quiet and then turning to whoever was next to them to talk about what they’d seen, made the months of work worth it.”
Following its opening in Lahore, the VXR Festival will continue at R Space today at the Mariam Dawood School of Visual Arts and Design, and Beaconhouse National University on Nov 12. The festival will then travel to Islamabad, where its programme will run from Nov 13 to 15.
