Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Fatima Sana Shaikh to Samara Tijori: Actresses Who Let Go of their Luscious Locks for Screen Portrayals

Several Bollywood actresses have dared to go short-haired to bring authenticity to their on-screen portrayals. Instead of playing the character, these actresses have taken several steps ahead to ‘live’ their characters - and their daring to go short-haired only throws light on their hunger to go unfiltered with looks!

On this note, here’s looking at Bollywood actresses who totally carried off the short hair look!

Priyanka Chopra Jonas

For Anjaana Anjaani in 2010, Priyanka Chopra Jonas let go of her long locks and opted for a shorter and trendier cut for her role as Kiara, and guess what? The hairstyle continues to remain a trend even today!

Fatima Sana Shaikh

Fatima Sana Shaikh embraced a bold transformation for Dangal by cutting her hair short and fulfilling a personal desire. As hair holds a cultural and personal significance for women, Fatima still chose to chop her hair for a role that continues to remain a landmark in her filmography.

Samara Tijori

In the latest psychological crime thriller Daldal, Samara Tijori chopped her hair in a boy-cut to bring more believability to her portrayal. Usually, actresses sport short wigs to showcase short-hair, but Samara donned long wigs to depict long locks, and later surprised everyone with a pixie look.

Sanya Malhotra

For Dangal, Sanya Malhotra sported a very short, functional pixie cut hairstyle to portray a wrestler. Later, the actress revealed that it took a long time to grow her curls.

Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma looked as refreshing as ever in a pixie cut hairdo with fringes in PK, making it her most polarising look till date. Though fans love her in luscious waves, the actress still won hearts by looking as cute as a button!

At times when actresses would think twice before making such bold transformations, these ladies took the leap, making their portrayals even more memorable!
