Priyanka chops hair for film

Wednesday 9 December 2009

Priyanka Chopra who was seen sporting a short, sleek, polished bob hairstyle at an event, appeared to have looked no further than Katie Holmes' well groomed bob haircut to choose her new look.

Priyanka will be seen sporting the look in her forthcoming film Pyaar Impossible, which is said to be inspired by the hit British film Notting Hill. Though Priyanka has been experimenting with her hair lately - she had trimmed her long wavy hair into a shoulder length style and was also seen with coloured hair extensions at a party some time back - her new classic bob look that really takes the cake is not actually her natural look, informs an industry insider.

The Bollywood star hasn't chopped her hair short, as seen on her now, and is relying on a wig for the effect.

Manish Malhotra, costume designer for the movie, says about Priyanka's hot new look, "The short hairstyle is something that we discussed early on. She sports two looks in the movie, the short hairstyle is for the second half, where she plays a working woman living in Singapore. I also designed the outfits keeping in mind her hair. So she wears short fitted skirts or formal shorts. The look is fuss- free and glam, just like her hair style. I also paid attention to details, like we have not made her wear any earrings with her short hair, as hanging earrings would have killed the look." So the fact that Priyanka is carrying the short, shorn look even at events goes on to say that she has really taken the publicity gimmicks to promote movies to a newer level.

The actor knows that her new look would get the film pre-release attention.

Style watchers, however, are happy with the new look, as the chic style not only suits her face but also highlights her facial contours. During her public outing a day ago in the look, Priyanka wore green cosmetic lenses, perhaps to complete her edgy, contemporary woman look.

Interestingly, hair changes are also linked to changes in real life.

Deepika Padukone recently got her long tresses trimmed as soon as she broke up with her steady boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor. According to pop psychologists, women often try newer styles when they want to reassert themselves. Now, whether Priyanka's new style is borne out of a personal reason or she is just trying the look to mould her image as a versatile actress, remains to be seen.

It's not for the first time that Bollywood beauties have looked west for style inspirations. When Bipasha Basu got her long locks cut into a textured bob, it reminded us of Victoria Beckham's then trademark look.

In the recent past, Katrina too got her hair fringed and wore teeny bopper hair bands for her role in Ajab Prem ki Gajab Kahani, reminding us of Paris Hilton's fetish for the hair band look.
