<p>A few days ago,actress Tannishtha Chatterjee&nbsp;was&nbsp;mocked for her dark skin-tone on an Indian comedy show. The actress was so deeply offended by the racist comments that she walked out of the show and expressed her resentment in an open letter on Facebook.</p>

<p>Here is how Bollywood&nbsp;&nbsp;backed her.</p>

<p>Actor Ajay Devgan stands against the racist comments :</p>

<p>&quot;There has to be a limit to humour. We all have a sense of humour, we all accept jokes on us. The person who is cracking the&nbsp;joke has to draw a line and for that the mindset needs to be changed&quot;</p>
