Actress Lupita Nyong'o says she was teased for her colour while growing up. Lupita was in an Instagram Live session with singer, Akothee speaking about her book, 'Sulwe'. "It was from relatives and friends going like, ‘Ohhh, she is so brown and beautiful,' and never hearing that said about me." Lupita added that the first time she felt there is something wrong with her dark skin, she was in class five. So I started doing a lot of things that Sulwe was doing in the book."
