Shahid Chops It Off

His hair that is! Shahid Kapur has chopped his enviable long locks for his upcoming Yash Raj film directed by Parmeet Sethi with Anushka Sharma as his co-star. He has ash streaks in his hair and a new crisp, short crop.

He had short hair in Jab We Met but sported long hair in Kismat Konnection and will continue to do so in the upcoming Kaminey (where both the twin brothers have long hair) and Dil Bole Hadippa.

Initially, at the first promotional event for Kaminey, he wore a cap to disguise his new look but once the shooting (of the film) started, he became less conscious. He cannot avoid being out of the public eye because he has to promote the movie. The same problem occurred during the promotion of Kismat Konnection because Vishal bhardwaj didn’t want his new, long haired look for Kaminey to be seen.

Shahid said, “Yes, this is my new look for Parmeet’s film. I have cut my hair. We don’t have a title yet. We have just started shooting. I can't talk much about it. All I can say is that it’s a single role.”

He's so paranoid about his hair that's he constantly keeping it hidden under a cap. So annoyed is Vishal Bhardwaj that he has expressely spoken about Shahid in print saying if Shahid concentrated less on his tresses and pecs he could be a great actor.

Ahem, ahem. Cupcake Kapur just got punked.
