The first time I saw this girl I thought she was naturally stunning, yet in India she is considered ugly.. What is wrong with that culture????

It's a country that still considered women second hand citizens, something to be a pawn with, women are considered collateral as well

I said the exact same thing! People really have been deceived about the standard of beauty. Even in a country where it is strongly cultured, western features still dominates!...People are so lost

Hey This is my story , I’m very grateful that God brought this opportunity to share with people through unfiltered stories , I want to make a clarification here that I didn’t get married to run away from my family as I didn’t know even know that I was getting abused by them untill my husband came in my life and after I opened with him , he educated me and helped me to see how toxic my family was so I just want this to be here because I love my husband and he is my biggest support, he is a blessing. And Thank you everyone for relating and speaking so many kind words , I really appreciate! God bless you all

Kingdom Blessings to you, your husband and your beautiful family. I faced the same things except the excess abuse. I am a CSA survivor also, born in a Muslim family, and cut all ties with all of them when I was 24yo for the same reasons, after I started dating my now husband of 26 years and gradually converted to Christianity. Death threats, blackmail, isolation, rejection, yeah I got all that... I was told that I would never amount to anything good, that I would go to hell, that my life is a mountain of human waste, etc... But here I am today with three children in university and doing all right. I learnt of the passings of my parents on the internet, through my siblings social medias. I mourned for both of them, was sad for a few days then kept going... Went through far worse than their losses, so it didn't cut me that much. I'm 51 today, happily married, and I am glad to live with JESUS. HALLALUYAH 😁👏🕊️🐑🦁🕎✝️! Remain blessed and thank you for sharing! You are Precious in HIS EYES, and that's all that matters
I’m so glad she got married and found love and moved from such an ugly terrible place. She’s so beautiful and deserves the best.
The end was so abrupt. I hope today she is living happy. She seems like she is. Thanks for sharing

Some people are so ridiculous how can a person call this beautiful young woman ugly? I didn't read the title of the video, I just clicked the video because her beauty attracted me. I hope you heal.

She is beautiful beautiful brown skin I pray she is happy.
she is so beautiful and strong and such a breath of fresh air even when talking about all of the traumatic things she’s gone through 🥹🤍
I hate that you experienced that. You didn’t deserve that. You are a beautiful woman and your lips, and skin color is beautiful. I’m so of you. God is Good.
Alana i am so sorry that you were mistreated so horribly in your childhood it wasn't your fault im glad that you distance yourself from your family and found love and stability in your life
Praying you have a blessed and happy marriage! Your beautiful young lady and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!🙏
Georgous I must say. Its crazy how some culture are.
Strong , beautiful, keep shining your light sister ❤❤
Even if it is your family, they are not good people and it is better to lose them, for me you were right to block them, you have a new life with your husband, you should only be with the people who love you.-

You gorgeous I’m sorry u went through that
You have a beautiful spirit x
I love to hear about what God is able to do, how He is able to change stories of people !! Congratulations for your testimony
You’re beautiful in your skin!
Wow😢 she is a true warrior!!! That’s what you call GRACE!!! GOD had her and lead her to the right man that loves her so much. What they don’t know GOD seen it all!!! And it they will Pay for everything they did to her. Oh wicked people!! Called her ugly!!! Wow !! I wonder what’s beautiful to them!!!
I am so happy for her. ❤❤❤❤ As an asian girl I can confirm it took so much strength to tell stories like that. She was so brave that she fought and made her life. Unfortunately, there are many who end up very badly. After getting abused from outside family shows their dark side too...! I wish her all the best. ❤❤❤❤ I know many girl who suffered same kind of abuse.
She absolutely drop dead gorgeous. I'm thankful she was able to get out and found a husband who truly loves and treats her right.
Bad parents are the worst thing in a person's life
Born and brought up in India, I understand her completely... Discrimination on the basis of skin colour, being called black, being told ugly that no one will marry you....... It's so common in India for girls to hear it... Being treated second grade if you have brother... I was just surprised at her accent in the beginning...but then I noticed it's acquired... Hopefully life treats her fairly in future...

Woman! Your story moved me. I was so happy when you got married and left India. You needed a happy ending. You’re beautiful. Keep the faith.
Im so sorry for all that happened to you...Thanks for sharing your story. ❤️ I'm so happy you met a wonderful man and are happy now. If there is a way to report all those who abused you, I would encourage you to do so. All those people who harmed you should be held accountable for what they did to you and so that they will be prevented from harming anyone else, especially a child. God bless you and may he always keep you and your loved ones safe. ❤️
this girl is incredibly beautiful, my God, that "family" is jealous in a sick way....
Wish you good luck..soo brave and str❤❤❤
Her mother didn’t have a good relationship with God treating her daughter like this. Her parents will face judgment when their time comes. Idk where she is today but I hope she is doing better in life
God bless you You are a very beautiful girl
You are a true blessing grateful to hear your story.
Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ for your testimony.
❤ So glad she left her parents…
Yes, she is actually Gorgeous.
God is so good indeed, she save you again and again and you just choose to love and believe in His love and power which is beautiful to watch ❤ may God continue to bless all of us❤❤❤
Beautiful young lady, love your features. I'm glad that you can be able to tell your story
She's beautiful I'm glad she knows how much God loves her and how she kept her faith after man parents and family failed her her worth is priceless continue moving forward
Yup do not go back

Do not go back! What a testimony. She is radiant n happy.
I don’t know how old this is but if you happen to see this just know you are beautiful 🙏🏼
I am so sorry about all the cruel things you went through ❤🩹 You are so beautifully strong and resilent, Alana.
Wow what a story so glad you found a wonderful husband and you happy God bless.
Good for you. I’m so glad God bought someone into your life that values you. I’m also glad that you’re happy and out of such a terrible family dynamic 🙌🏾
God Bless Her and Her wonderful Husband! ✝️
God bless yall on what yall do always
She’s beautiful
I agree with not keeping contact with your parents. Seems they never gave you the time, love, and attention that a child should have, so why should you have to invite their negativity into your life? Hope and pray you are doing very well now.🩵
Glad you got out🎉
Wow thanks for sharing. You are right to not go back God bless you Jesus loves you
Omg I'm glad you persevered
Do not go back. Stay where you are and be happen and contented ❤❤
Stay here in America dear
You are VERY beautiful, maybe your mother was jealous of you, so she neglected and abused you.
WHO the Son sets free is free indeed!!!! THANK YOU KING JESUS!!!!!! 🙏🙌🤗🌻🕊🌹 143
Your thumbnail picture literally got me clicked so fast as you look like an KZreadr who has adopted an Indian girl…if anyone can relate whom I am talking about…her name is “Cade”…a beautiful girl..much love from North Sikkim Lachung India ❤❤….the Zoo family is their channel name
Matthew 11:28-29 (KJV) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Praise God your beautiful
A traumatic childhood but so glad you now have a good husband and live far away from your birth family who abused you and India that often treats girls so badly.❤
Yes .. as God said plz don't go back to India. Stay blessed with ur husband and keep praying always. Jesus loves you.
I am from Sri Lanka. I experienced beauty remarks you got from my relatives too, especially in 70’s and 80’s . After western invasion, our people from our countries believed them as models. I was so happy when the first black woman was crowned as the Miss Universe. I am so sad for all what you faced. I am sure such things happen in disadvantaged households around the world. Especially in third world countries. That is why “Educating Girls” should be a major phenomenon in the world. Cause that same girl who is educated, is able to train her children and help them to be cultured disciplined people. Cause becoming a wife in a rich man’s household where there’s no discipline and boys are neglected to become rapists and thugs once again get the world caught up in the vicious cycle of violence and injustice towards women. May you be blessed and happy!
Amen 🙏
Very pretty
Never go back girl..,stay where you are. America you're protected by God and the law. Much safer there.
Noooo wayy!! 😮😮😮 The child girl picture is exactly like the girl adopted from Kolkata by this youtube channel 2 in a zoo 😮😮 resemblance is
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Yall r very beautiful young women

Please don't go back to your family in India. I hope you have a wonderful life with your new family. Lots of love❤

I don't understand having more children when you can barely take care of the one you have.
God works Miracles. But not in my life. I had no dark clouds or silver lining. But never found a partner for a life and her story was a surprise at end finding her love.
OMG horrible culture😭😭😭When a boy gives you something because he want something from you😤😤😤Horrible parents😲😲😲Horrible life💔💔💔Attention from someone is importend for everyone, but when they do something wrong than you have to leave them forgood!They are evil who do that to you💔💔💔That’s not love, not normal, exceptable😤😤😤!!!I they don’t treat you like a lady you have to run from the situation🥺🥺🥺Finally you found your happiness☺️☺️☺️♥️♥️♥️

Not her's either. But you're so concerned, send the $ to rescue him. 💵
Her life is good now why?! Because She married non indian man who ia been searching for real love,not to make fun of poor girls and use them . Before this she didnt have any example to follow . She is been so lonely and mistaken that because of attention is been in nasty kind relationahips with her relatives and rapists... So sad and disguating
🤍 Thank you. For being your astonishingly splendid self. And honoring it 🙌🏽🤍💛♥️
Matthew 10: 34-36.
She was seen as "ugly" because she was dark skinned due to colonial influence on standards of beauty. The same issue is going on the United States. Whiteness (or the more European features and skin color inherited) is seen as more beautiful due to colonialism/racism. This is why most models and actresses are white or light skinned in the US. Colonial standards of beauty have also affected Latin America.
When God has amazing plans for your life, nothing can stop. Romans 8:35-36
God sad “block em” that should be a part of scripture.
Had to be a white guy
Here i was expecting a eastern Indian guy. Not a white savior. Smh
Your parents didn’t know better. They were (in their best knowledge) trying to protect you mam
