Karan Johar refuses to sport grey hair, vows to take up only main leads
Karan Johar always regale us with his charismatic presence. This time the Koffee with Karan host surprised us all with a new look minus grey hair posted by sharing a video on his Instagram profile. Tired of being referred to as old, KJo finally coloured his hair at home with Godrej Expert Rich Crème, India’s leading crème hair colour brand. He even used the hashtag #ColourLikeKaran. Delighted with the outcome, the Bombay Velvet actor is now gunning for main leads it seems; evidently seen from his hashtags of the post.
Most of us neglected our hair concerns this lockdown and perhaps have even forgiven the occasional greys. Likewise, Karan, too, decided to let his hair be. On May 5, the Student of the Year director, even posted an image of himself in grey hair and claimed that he is now available for father roles. Bollywood was abuzz with the likes of Ekta Kapoor, Farah Khan, Vishal Dadlani, Shilpa Shetty, Anil Kapoor, some supporting while others taking a fun dig at him. However, this got many mixed views. His own children, Yash and Roohi, thought he is growing older at a faster pace. However, this was not acceptable to the fashionista and he took the matter into his own hands. Godrej Expert Rich Crème and Karan Johar’s collaboration aims to highlight how easy it is to colour hair at home and that people need not look dull just because they are indoors. Salon or not, Karan’s hair looks gorgeous after he tended to it himself.
The video post starts with Karan Johar with his peppered hair speaking about how he thinks that his new home grey hair look is cool but his fans, industry friends and even family is urging him to colour his greys as they make him look old. Frustrated with the comments, Karan agrees to colour his greys with Godrej Expert Rich Crème recalling how this is “Anushka wala hair colour”. Apprehensive as he has never applied hair colour by himself, Karan follows simple instructions – mix, apply, and wash off. Finally, he expresses his astonishment about the precision and joyously clicking a selfie states how this will now go viral.
Commenting on his new look Karan Johar said, “Grey hair can elicit multiple reactions. I can personally relate to it as I got all kinds of comments from uber cool to hello uncle. When my kids asked why I was looking old, I decided to try and colour my hair at home. I didn’t have to do too much, just a simple application of at-home hair colour with natural ingredients worked fine for me.”
We are waiting like Karan to see what the response from other celebrities is going to be to this new coloured hair look.
