Sorisha Naidoo has never been shy about glamour.
Viewers of The Real Housewives of Durban are used to seeing her polished to perfection, dripping in luxury and confidence.
But this week, she flipped the script and gave fans something refreshingly different: a look at her completely makeup-free face.
A Candid Moment Shared Online
The reality TV star appeared bare-faced in a short social media clip shared by well-known makeup artist Warren Killian.
The video starts with Sorisha stripped of her usual glam, before Killian works his magic and transforms her into the flawless, camera-ready version fans recognise so well.
The contrast was striking—and very intentional.
Letting the Camera See the Real Her
Known for her bold beauty looks at events and on television, Sorisha’s decision to appear without makeup felt personal and honest.
There were no filters, no heavy lighting tricks—just her natural skin on display.
It was a quiet reminder that even reality stars who live in the spotlight have an off-duty, unpolished side too.
Life Beyond the Spotlight and the Labels
Away from TV drama and designer wardrobes, Sorisha is also the wife of businessman Vivian Reddy and a mother of two.
Over the years, she’s built a reputation for both her lavish lifestyle and her openness about personal struggles—especially when it comes to beauty standards and self-image.
Opening Up About Skin Lightening Regrets
Long before her reality TV fame, Sorisha has spoken publicly about using skin-bleaching products.
She revealed that the journey began after she won Miss India South Africa in 2002, a time when she faced hurtful comments from within the Indian community about her darker complexion.
When Beauty Choices Leave Lasting Scars
What started as an attempt to fit in eventually became something she deeply regretted.
Years later, Sorisha admitted the impact went beyond appearance.
She described her skin as becoming “too white” and “paper-thin,” a result that didn’t reflect who she truly was—or how she once felt about herself.
Learning to Love the Woman She Was Before
Looking back, Sorisha has been brutally honest about her feelings.
She’s said she believes she was more beautiful before making those changes, adding that the decision came from a place of insecurity rather than self-love.
In her own words, it was irrational—and not something she would ever repeat.
Why This Bare-Faced Moment Matters
That makeup-free clip wasn’t just a beauty transformation video.
For many fans, it felt like a full-circle moment—one where Sorisha reclaimed her natural self and quietly challenged the idea that perfection needs layers.
Sometimes, the most powerful statement is simply showing up as you are.
