Be it the bob of the 1920s, the twiggy crop of the ’60s or the pixie cut of ’70s, Bollywood actresses are preferring to keep it short and sweet.
Setting the benchmark for short hair is Canadian actress and model, Lisa Ray, who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer— multiple myeloma—last year. Ray, born in Canada to an Indian father and a Polish mother, underwent a stem-cell transplant in January 2010 to treat the multiple myeloma. She was recently spotted at the opening of her film, Cooking With Stella, at the Indian Film Festival 2010, showing off her close crop. Adressing the press gathered at the opening, she had said,“I am loving my new hairstyle. My hair is coming back and it’s looking awesome right now. It is the sleekest and most well-put together look that I have ever sported.”
This was not Lisa's first brush with a shaven pate. Earlier in the 2007 Oscar-nominated movie Water, she donned a similar look. However, suffering hair loss while undergoing the cancer treatment could have been traumatising for most women, but for Lisa it was a different experience. "What was traumatic about losing my hair this time was that I didn't have a choice. But I have enjoyed being bald," she reportedly admitted. Her recent post on her blog adds to her state of mind. “Woke up. Got out of bed. (Did not) drag a comb across my head,” read the post.
