Deepika Padukone To Anushka Sharma: Celebrities Who Aced The Short Hair

Celebrities Short Hair Do: Women cutting their hair shorter than the ‘societally acceptable length' has long been frowned upon in our culture. This is because society has equated the length of a woman’s hair with her femininity, fertility and beauty. However, as the world progresses, more and more women are now shattering the conventional notion by opting for hassle-free and stylish short haircuts. 

Short Hairstyles may be a rarity in Bollywood before, but today celebrities certainly know how to pull off the look effortlessly. The women of Bollywood, from Anushka Sharma to Deepika Padukone, are simply rocking short hair with panache and style and showing that the length of a woman’s hair is not in any way linked with her womanhood.
