The fringe cut instantly transports us to the retro era of long eyeliners and black & white beauties. Yesteryear actress Sadhana was the first to start the trend in India. The desi Audrey Hepburn became such a huge hit that the hairstyle itself was rechristened as the ‘Sadhana cut’.
Director RK Nayyar was the man behind Sadhana’s iconic look in Love In Simla (1960). Sadhana is said to have been rather conscious of her broad forehead and the bangs served as the perfect camouflage!
The fringe she sported became a rage at the time and was apparently inspired by Audrey Hepburn.
Hepburn looked every bit chic and classy in her fringe cut. Check out how our Bollywood divas still love the timeless fringe.
1. Sonakshi Sinha
Sonakshi Sinha’s looks have been criticised not only for the weight element but also for her wide forehead. The actress has been a real sport in taking all the extra scrutiny and has played with her side flicks quite creatively.
2. Bipasha Basu
Bipasha’s face was made for bangs, don’t you think? Her Corporate (2006) look was hardly as sexy as her girl-next-door look with her classy bangs.
3. Malaika Arora Khan
If regular bangs aren’t good enough for your wild side, try a bright hair colour or highlights to get those heads turning. Malaika’s flaming orange wig did the trick for her.
4. Esha Deol
Esha Deol often sported the high-end pony tail. However in the title track of Chura Liyaa Hai Tumne she tried this fringe cut that changed her look completely. She experimented with tying a bandana, fringes, etc in the film.
5. Rani Mukerji
Rani Mukerji’s forehead has never been a problem but we do love it when she plays around with her look. Her bangs in Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007) were a refreshing change from the usual clean side parting she sports.
