Janhvi Kapoor Reveals Mother Sridevi Warned Her To Never Cut Her Hair For Any Role: ‘She Yelled At Me A Lot, Was Very Proud Of My Hair’

Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor is currently climbing the ladder towards a successful career. Having made a name for herself in the Hindi entertainment industry with her versatile performances, she is all set to follow in her mother, late actress Sridevi’s footsteps, by making her debut in the Telugu entertainment industry. As fans await the release of her upcoming film Ulajh, the actress recently revealed that she would never go bald for a character as her mother loved her hair and told her to never cut it for any role.

In an interview with IMDb’s exclusive segment, Ask Each Other Anything, she was joined by Roshan Mathew, where she opened up about the one thing she wouldn’t do for an on-screen character. She revealed that despite the film being a life-changing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she would never cut her hair short. She added that the filmmaker can use VFX or a baldcap. Quoted by Hindustan Times, she added, “I have dislocated my shoulder, I’ve bled, broken bones, put myself through all kinds of trauma and torture, but going bald is something I refuse to do.” ALSO READ: Janhvi Kapoor Opens Up About Working In Ulajh; Actress Says, ‘Don't Think I've Ever Been This Invested And Involved In Any Film’- EXCLUSIVE

The 27-year-old actress reminisced how this was also an issue during the shoot, as the director of Ulajh, Sudhanshu Saria, wanted her to cut her hair short. She said it was her “biggest fight” with him. Recalling the reason behind her decision, she said that during the shoot of her debut film Dhadak, she has decided to cut her hair. However, the late actress scolded her for doing so and warned to never cut her beautiful hair for any role.

Janhvi recalled, “Because I remember during Dhadak when I cut my hair, my mom yelled at me a lot and she was like, ‘how could you? Do not cut your hair for any role.’ Every third or fourth day, she used to put oil in my hair and massage my head. She was very proud of my hair. So I will not cut my hair.”

On the work front, Janhvi Kapoor was last seen in Mr And Mrs Mahi opposite Rajkummar Rao. She will be next seen in Ulajh, co-starring Roshan Matthew and Gulshan Devaiah. She also has Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari alongside Varun Dhawan and her Telugu debut film Devara alongside Jr NTR and Saif Ali Khan in her pipeline. The makers of Ram Charan’s upcoming untitled project also announced her as their leading lady.
