When asked about her biggest challenge,Juliet Ibrahim told Punch
Sometimes, it is related with my colour. The fact that I am of a mixed
race makes people think that I receive preferential treatment. That is a
huge misconception. There are times my colour is a disadvantage and I
cannot get certain roles. They would rather give the role to a
dark-skinned actor especially if both parents are dark in the movie.
Sometimes, the fair-complexioned actors are cast in the roles of husband
snatchers and other bad characters. People don’t know that we go
through a lot. It has been very challenging to get a role that can
elevate my talent.However, I am being told now that I am receiving more
favours because of my fair complexion. It seems people now have issues
with coloured people
